(AP) The Nebraska State Fair kicked off on Friday and will offer a full slate of attractions and music a year after the COVID-19 pandemic cancelled the concerts, carnival and other draws.
Besides the carnival rides, gooey fried food and livestock shows, this year’s fair in Grand Island will feature several concerts, including Modern West featuring Kevin Costner on Thursday, BandaLos Sebastianes on Friday and Jon Pardi on Saturday.
1980’s “hair bands” Warrant and Skid Row will perform Tuesday in the Events Center. The theme of this year’s state fair is “Nothing More Nebraskan,” and the event will run through Sept. 6.
