Even though the 2020 version of the Illinois State Fair had to be scrapped due to Covid-19, organizers are thinking ahead, planning and booking talent for 2021. Country music is well represented with tickets going on sale in December of this year. Here’s a few of the stars.

Illinois State Fair officials are planning to hold the Illinois State Fair in August 13th thru August 22nd of 2021 in Springfield. According to WREX 13 News, if COVID-19 prevents the fair from happening again, those who purchase tickets will receive a full refund. More good news is that they are going on sale this Tuesday, December 15th, 2020 in time for Christmas.
