Big Fresno Fair announces 2026 concert lineup and dates

The Big Fresno Fair announced its 2026 dates and concert lineup Wednesday, with the 12-day event returning to the Fresno County Fairgrounds on Kings Canyon Road from October 7 through October 18. Headliners at the Table Mountain Concert Series include Los Tigres del Norte (opening night), Nelly, Chris Young, and Grupo Firme. All concerts are included with fair admission — a policy the fair has kept for more than 20 years. "This is one of the strongest lineups we've ever put together, and it reflects the community we serve," fair CEO Stacy Rianda said. Advance carnival wristbands and season passes go on sale August 1 at fresnofair.com. The fair is one of California's largest, drawing more than 600,000 visitors annually.
