Published 9:00 am Saturday, July 19, 2025

There’s a lot to love about the county fair: carnival rides, games, exhibits, fried food and so on.

And for lovers of live music, the Deschutes County Fair is a bonanza, with live music happening throughout the event and five big concerts each year featuring big names from the worlds of pop, rock, country and regional Mexican music.

Those five big shows are free to attend when you pay fair admission. To put it another way: If you pay your way into their fair, no additional ticket is required to attend the concert. Admission to the fair is as follows:
$16 for adults (13-61) and $12 for children (6-12) and seniors (62+) on Wednesday, July 30 and Thursday, July 31
$18 (adults) and $14 (children/seniors) on Friday, Aug. 1 and Saturday, Aug. 2
$13 (adults) and $10 (children/seniors) on Sunday, Aug. 3.
