Fair Food
The Fair wouldn’t be a fair without the FOOD! Everyone’s favorite Pronto Pups, funnel cakes, turkey legs and fried desserts will be waiting. If traditional fair food isn’t your thing, you’re sure to find something to satisfy your taste buds from one of the many food trucks on site.
Music on the Main Stage
Jam out to live music from talented acts on the Main Stage! This year, the Fair is hosting super talented solo acts and groups, including country music stars Brian Kelley of Florida Georgia Line and Scotty McCreery. On Latino Day (Sept. 24), Latin musicians will perform throughout the day, and on Gospel Day (Oct. 1), seven different acts will fill the day with joyous hymns and tunes. Local artists, like Reagan Strange and Charvey, will take to the stage, as well. Check out the full lineup here. Concerts are free with Fair admission.
