State Fair of Texas Music Schedule

Every year, the State Fair of Texas brings in big-name bands and performing artists, both nationally-known and with local roots. 2008 is no exception, with Demi Lovato, Jessica Simpson, and AB Quintanilla and Kumbia King All Starz, among others, performing on the Chevrolet Main Stage. The concerts are free with admission to the State Fair.

The Chevrolet Main Stage is located on a large blacktop (like a parking lot) at the end of International Boulevard. If you're standing at Big Tex, walk toward the Hall of State and past it. Or, if you're in the Midway, follow the Texas Skyway to Big Tex and take the fork to the right.
