The 24-day, four-weekend extravaganza that is the State Fair of Texas is back. The great thing about the fair is its predictable greatness, from the butter sculptures to the nightly fireworks to the oodles of fried food. You can try all the new concoctions, check out the midway, enjoy free concerts every day, or take a trip to the top of the Top 'o Texas Tower.
Among the big-name musicians performing during the Fair include Clint Black, Bowling for Soup, Kansas, Queensrÿche, Deep Blue Something, Tripping Daisy, Toadies, RaeLynn, Gym Class Heroes, and more.
