STATE FAIR AMATEUR TALENT CONTEST
Every night at 6 p.m. crowds converge at the Leinie Lodge Bandshell to witness an event almost as legendary as corn dogs and cotton candy. The annual Minnesota State Fair Amateur Talent Contest semi-finals draw hundreds of fairgoers who grab a seat, or a Leinie Lounger and watch singers, cloggers and every type of performer in between compete for the right to be named Minnesota’s top talent. Winners are named at the Talent Competition Finals, held in the Grandstand on Sunday, September 5.
