Tri-Rivers Fair
The Saline County Fair Association is thrilled to announce that Salina’s own rising country star, Jaron Bell, will return home to headline a special concert at the Tri-Rivers Fair on Friday, July 31, 2026 at 8:00pm. As part of this year’s "Stars, Stripes, and Summer Nights" theme, the performance will be held in the Ag Hall Concourse at the Saline County Expo Center, promising a high-energy evening that celebrates local talent and community spirit.
The concert, which is completely free to the public, is designed as a premier family-friendly experience where residents of all ages can unite to celebrate local traditions and world-class entertainment. With an array of food vendors and on-site beer sales, the evening is set to be the definitive centerpiece of a summer Friday night in Salina.
Tri-Rivers Fair Board President Cain Fouard noted that the collaboration has been a highlight for the organization. "I’ve loved working with Jaron over the last two years," Fouard shared. "His enthusiasm for our community is matched only by the high-energy fun we experience at his concerts. It is truly special to have him back."
For Jaron, the opportunity to perform at the Tri-Rivers Fair again is more than just another stop on a tour; it is a heartfelt tribute to the community that raised him.
“I am so excited to be at the fair this year,” Bell said. “The committee has worked tirelessly to bring something truly special to Salina. With everything that has been going on with me and my team, this show really feels like a homecoming where we can show off our full production to the people we care about most.”
“I would definitely say we are going to bring our best show yet,” Bell added. “This is going to be one people don’t want to miss.”
The performance serves as a centerpiece of the four-day fair, which remains a cornerstone of local tradition by reinforcing the values of community pride and hard work. Beyond the music, the fairgrounds will be buzzing with activity, including 4-H exhibits, livestock shows, and a vibrant marketplace.
