2024 Marching Band exhibition
More than 60 Nebraska bands will be participating in the 2024 Nebraska State Fair festivities. Please refer to the schedule below for a complete list of registered bands and their performance times.
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.Â
