It's September, which means it's fair season in East Texas. And this year The East Texas State Fair has a brand new home.

In addition to the great food and rides, organizers are bringing some great live music to Tyler with something for everyone. We'll see some great country acts, rock acts, and a truly diverse mix of up-and-coming artists and talented local school groups.

If you haven't heard, this year's fair will be at the all-new Park of East Texas, a sprawling 300-acre campus under development in West Tyler. The 108th annual East Texas State Fair begins on September, 20th. Following that, on May 3, 2025, the venue will welcome the Red Dirt BBQ & Music Festival, making it a vibrant new destination for community events.
