Lancaster, CA – – The Antelope Valley Fair is back and better than ever! Mark your calendars

for five days of fun, entertainment, and community spirit from September 25-29, 2024. This year's fair

promises an unforgettable experience for all ages with a lineup of exciting events, exhibits, and

performances.

Concert Highlights: We are thrilled to announce two headlining acts for our concert series at the Palmdale

Auto-mall Arena:

• Nelly and Tanner Adell - The Grammy Award-winning artist will kick off the fair with his iconic hits

like "Hot in Herre," "Ride Wit Me," and "Dilemma" on September 25th. Nelly’s dynamic performance is

sure to set an energetic tone for the fair. Tanner Adell is a rising country music artist known for

blending traditional country sounds with modern pop influences.

• Jefferson Starship and Spazmatics – On September 26th, enjoy a double bill with the legendary

rock band Jefferson Starship, known for timeless classics like "Jane," "Miracles," and "Find Your Way

Back," and the high-energy, 80s cover band Spazmatics, famous for their entertaining renditions of

hits like "Take On Me" and "I Want You to Want Me." This eclectic mix promises a night of nostalgic

and vibrant music that appeals to all generations.

Special Event:

• Pay-One-Gate Day – Thursday, September 26th, is Pay-One-Gate Day courtesy of the Antelope

Valley Trade Unions. For just $25, admission includes all carnival rides, making it an incredible deal

for families. Seniors aged 65 and older can still purchase discounted tickets, though these tickets

will not include carnival rides.

Quote: “We are incredibly excited about this year's fair and our fantastic concert lineup,” said Angie Hughes,

President of the Board of Directors. “Bringing in artists like Nelly, Jefferson Starship, and Spazmatics ensures

there's something for everyone. We are also thrilled to reintroduce Pay-One-Gate Day after an extended

absence. This day allows so many families to enjoy all aspects of the fair, including concerts and carnival

rides, for an extremely affordable price. A heartfelt thank you to the Los Angeles and Orange County Building

and Construction Trades Council for making this possible, and to the cities of Lancaster and Palmdale for

their support in bringing such a strong lineup to the fair this year.”

New Additions: This year, we’ve made some exciting changes to the fair:

• Educational Livestock Exhibits – We will feature a multitude of interactive, entertaining, and

educational livestock exhibits. Attendees can learn about animal care, and the importance of

agriculture in our community. This year, the Junior Livestock Show and Auction was moved to April

during the California Poppy Festival to better accommodate high school participation and ensure the

welfare of the animals, which enabled us to see an increase of 15% in participation. We look forward

to seeing you at the Fair and making unforgettable memories together!

• Diverse Vendors and Food Concessionaires – Enjoy a wide variety of delicious food options and

unique products from concessionaires including AV’s most iconic Food Trucks.
