2024 Marching Band exhibition
Calling all high school marching bands! Join more than 60 Nebraska bands in participating in the 2024 Nebraska State Fair festivities. Band performance slots are available on select days from August 23rd-30th and are first come, first served. Please refer to the schedule of registered bands below.
Due to ongoing construction on the Fonner Park grounds, we have devised a new marching band route for the 2024 Nebraska State Fair (see map below).
*Note that on Monday, August 26th, an alternate route will be utilized to account for Older Nebraskans Day crowds. Performance Stop 1 will not be available on this day.
