Minnesota State Fair

The Minnesota State Fair is slowly releasing this year's Grandstand concert lineup, and today's announcement adds another iconic rock act.

The Minnesota State Fair has already announced two major acts for the 2025 Grandstand: Old Dominion and Melissa Etheridge with the Indigo Girls. Now, a legendary band from England will bring their iconic sound to the fair.

They are the first country act to be announced for the big Minnesota event so far.

The Minnesota State Fair is known as one of the best state fairs in the country, and often ranks as the second largest attended behind the Texas State Fair, but one Midwest state might soon make a run for the top.

From his first job at the Minnesota State Fair to the funny name of his Minnesota college, this interview is great.

That's a LOT of people.

Did the Minnesota State Fair wrap up 2024 with a record-breaking year? Also, what's up with all of the people saying the Minnesota State Fair is dead?

Minnesotans get a little defensive of our state fair but the numbers are in, and it's true: There IS one state fair that is bigger than the Minnesota State Fair.

With record attendance numbers in recent years, culminating in an all-time high of over 2.1 million attendees in 2019, a question arises: Has the Minnesota State Fair peaked?

The Minnesota State Fair starts August 22nd and runs through September 2nd. The event attracts 2 million people who come for the agricultural exhibits, animals, music, entertainment, attractions, rides, and, of course, tons of delicious food!
