4th Annual Empire State Entrepreneur Expo

Taste. Try. Buy.

Join us on May 1, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., for the 4th Annual Empire State Entrepreneur Expo — a dynamic marketplace celebrating local producers, makers, and small businesses from the Mohawk Valley and across New York State.

This high-energy event brings together food, beverage, and specialty product entrepreneurs all in one place, giving attendees the opportunity to sample unique products, meet the people behind the brands, and shop directly from the source. From artisan foods and handcrafted goods to innovative new products, the Expo is your chance to discover what’s next in local.

Guests can enjoy product tastings, explore dozens of vendor booths, and cast their votes in our publicly voted awards — recognizing the standout products of the day. Whether you’re a dedicated supporter of local businesses, a foodie looking for something new, or simply curious about the incredible talent in our region, there’s something for everyone.

The Empire State Entrepreneur Expo has become a signature annual event showcasing rural innovation, entrepreneurship, and community connection.

Come hungry. Leave inspired.
