Held each August in Des Moines, the fair brings together Grandstand concerts, nationally recognized entertainers, livestock shows, 4H exhibits, food vendors, carnival rides, and agricultural showcases that draw visitors from across Iowa and surrounding states.
Each year, the Iowa State Fair Grandstand features big name artists spanning country, rock, pop, and comedy, making it one of the premier live entertainment venues of the summer. In addition to headline concerts, fairgoers enjoy daily live music, competitions, exhibits, and some of the most famous fair food in the country.
