We love the giant corndogs and smoked turkey legs chased by a slew of stomach-churning, gravity-defying carnival rides at the Pima County Fair, but the real reason we love the fair: the concerts.
And we鈥檙e really excited about this year鈥檚 lineup, a mix of 鈥80s metal rock, 2000s pop country, some 1970s disco/dance, 鈥90s hair bands, a hip-hop star with a Christian message and the fair鈥檚 first-ever EDM show.
And we love the price tag: Free with fair admission.
So here鈥檚 the rundown on the 2020 Pima County Fair.
