We only got to attend two of the four nights this year, but we had a really good time. ZZ Top was…read morethe headliner for Saturday night, so there was quite a crowd, I heard estimates of 18,000, which is a lot of people for this fair. They set up a stage at the edge of the fairgrounds and it actually worked really well. I think they learned a lesson last year when the crowds were too large for their usual stage for the Merle Haggard concert. Kudos for recognizing the problem and creating a solution. On Sunday night, Earl Thomas Conley put on a great show. He sang his hits and a few not so well known songs, for a good mix of his music. Friday night was BJ Thomas and the Triumphs. Word is they were really good as well. The fair continues to be a lot of fun. We go every year and always have a lot of fun. A season pass was only $35 and you get 4 nights of entertainment included. If you enjoy county fairs, put this one on your calendar for next Labor Day.

I have been coming to this fair for 40+ years. Growing up in this little town of Lagrange it was a…read morehighlight of the year to go to the fair. Every year they've gotten better and better ask and this year they had ZZ Top. Really outdid themselves. We went to the concert for a little while but we left early because we knew that the traffic could be horrible. I heard some stories about it being bad but what do people expect this many people in a small town come on. They also had Earl Thomas Conley on Sunday night which was great it wasn't too many people and you can really enjoy it. I love the fair and always will go back.

No drink tickets involved. And you won't have to pre buy beer to avoid getting back into long lines. I don't recommend buying the plastic beer mind btw. You end up paying more for beer. Unless of course you plan on reading it next year. Food and beer selection was good. Spent about 2 hrs here seeing everything. Probably could have taken more time if we decided to hangout in certain areas for longer.

Weekends require purchased tickets. There's a little something for everyone, food galore, adult beverages, shopping, live music, a carnival, indoor and outdoor seating, etc. Do yourself a favor and get a pork chop on a stick. It's the most popular food item- you can tell by the constant line of people at their booth. My one disappointment is that beer prices continually rise every year. There was a point in time that you could get a domestic beer pitcher for $15-17, now a pitcher (import) is over $30! Although I wish the prices would decline, I know that I'm going to return each year because I always have the best time!

Probably the best time to attend this festival is on Sunday when much of the street parking is…read morefree. otherwise you pay for it on Saturday. Before you get here, I'd recommend you bring a hat and sunglasses and perhaps even sunscreen. One other thing to keep in mind is that many of the local businesses along the festival do not allow you to use their bathrooms, so you'll have to find one of many porta pottys along the route. As anyone who has been on 6th Street lately knows, the sidewalks are absolutely filthy complete with vomit, broken glass and in desperate need of repair and power washing. You'll also find some homeless activity along the sides of the street. There are hundreds of vendor pop-up tents along with some stages set up on the side streets for local musicians. The length of this festival stretches from I 35 to Brazos Street on 6th Street. There are play areas and rides for the kids which cost a few dollars each. Here's just a partial list of what you'll find here: face painting, wind chimes, boba tea, pet goods, cutlery, furniture, perfumes, cbd gummies not to mention every other knickknack imaginable that you'd expect to see here. Plenty of street food and drinks here as well. However, some of these food places do not have any pricing, which means the bill will be more expensive than you realize. There are a lot of people that show up to this festival with their dogs and strollers, but it's not especially crowded. So is this free festival worth attending? Yes especially if it is your first time. If you don't mind the grime and the high prices this should be on your list. Lots of pictures included for added insight.
