The Fair is jam packed with live concerts and musical entertainment… and we have something for everyone!
On Friday September 13th, you’ll love the hilarious, insightful and heartwarming Antsy McClain and the Trailer Park Troubadours!
Whether he’s performing solo or with his incredible band of musicians called the Trailer Park Troubadours, Antsy McClain will have you laughing until your cheeks are sore and tearing up over the good stuff: love, family and friends.
On Saturday September 14th, you will never, ever, ever forget this show!
“Red – A Taylor Swift Tribute” is a jaw dropping, faithful recreation of a live Taylor Swift concert. RED is fronted by Lauren Corzine, a talented vocalist and performer. Throughout her career as a singer/songwriter, Lauren was told she looks and sounds just like Taylor Swift. She decided to embrace her striking resemblance to the pop icon and founded RED… an epic journey through Taylor Swift’s entire discography.
On the afternoon of Sunday September 15th, the music moves from the Amphitheater Stage to the Main Horse Arena. There, singer and equestrian Lola Montes belts out songs while riding her beautiful Andalusian horse—trained in Alta Escuela.
From a mariachi festival at the Hollywood Bowl to an afternoon in Chula Vista, CA where she sang an historic duet with The King, Vicente Fernandez… Montes always gets victorious applause from her audiences. It’s fitting because her name means victory. Montes has been singing professionally since she was 8 years old. Her greatest loves are her horses, animals, guitar and her family.
As part of Montes’ show, Escaramuza Charra El Centenario will put on a dazzling display of horseback riding. Charra is the only female equestrian event in the Mexican charrería.
The escaramuza means “skirmish.” It consists of a team riding horses in choreographed synchronized maneuvers to music. The women ride side-saddle and wear traditional Mexican outfits including sombreros, dresses, and matching accessories.
Sunday night, the party heads back to the Amphitheater for Los Tiranos del Norte!
Hailing from Baja California, Los Tiranos del Norte features lead vocalist/bajosexto player, Gustavo Cota.
Los Tiranos Del Norte has established itself as a major player in the Latin music industry. The group has a particular sound that combines traditional Mexican music with contemporary elements. Traditional instruments like the accordion, guitar and drums are mixed with contemporary electronic components to produce a distinctive and dynamic sound. Their songs resonate with listeners all over the world because they address topics like love, heartbreak and the difficulties of daily life.
As one of the most influential and enduring bands of our time, their music continues to inspire and amuse listeners around the world- solidifying their position in the Latin music landscape.
All of these awesome concerts and shows on Friday, Saturday and Sunday are free with your Fair admission!
On Wednesday and Thursday nights (September 11th and 12th) we have an event that brings a different and unmistakable sound to the fairgrounds—Monster Trucks and Motocross!
It’s two nights of rip-roaring excitement at the Fair’s racetrack. This motorsport event thrills and delights… as huge trucks and daredevil motorcycle riders whirl and twirl through the air. The only thing louder than the roar of the engines are the cheers from the crowd!
This year, featured Monster Trucks include Playing for Keeps, Enforcer, Wicked Strong and Hillbilly. (The Monster Truck lineup is subject to change without notice). There’s also a Monster Ride Truck and Freestyle Motocross featuring USA FMX!
The Monster Truck shows do require the purchase of tickets in addition to the price of admission.
