The Kansas State Fair has announced a schedule change for tonight’s Josiah Queen with Ben Fuller concert at the Nex-Tech Grandstand. The show, originally set for 7:30 p.m., will now begin at 6:30 p.m. Gates will open at 5:00 p.m.
Current ticketholders do not need to take any action—tickets remain valid for the adjusted time. Those still looking to attend can purchase tickets at etix.com.
Fair officials say the change comes in response to ongoing closures of on-grounds parking lots following heavy rainfall earlier this week. Handicapped parking will remain available near Gates 5 and 9.
By moving the concert up one hour, organizers aim to ensure the show concludes before the Fair’s free shuttle service ends at 11:30 p.m. Shuttles are running from off-site parking locations, including the Hutchinson Sports Arena, Hutchinson Uptown Mall, and Bold 3PL.
The Kansas State Fair runs through Sunday, Sept. 14, with concerts, entertainment, livestock shows, and family activities scheduled daily.
