2022 Ohio State Fair offers full schedule of free concerts

July 16, 2022 by GFT Reporter

The kick off of the Ohio State Fair is less than two weeks away, so now is a great time to start planning your visit.

There is much excitement about the return of the fair because the pandemic has kept fans from visiting since 2019. 

In addition to the games, food, rides and livestock, entertainment is among the highlights.

Of course, there are plenty of headlining music acts performing this year, including Nelly (July 30), Dru Hill (July 31), Zach Williams (Aug. 1), Willie Nelson (Aug. 5) and Ice Cube (Aug. 4) but there are ample free concerts that fairgoers can enjoy, too!
