An event almost as legendary as corndogs and cotton candy, this extra-special evening brings together the 20 nightly first-place winners from 10 days of Amateur Talent Contest Semifinals competition and 6 winners from the MSF County Fair Talent Contest Finals competition. Enjoy a showcase of singers, dancers, instrumentalists and every type of performer in between as these 26 acts compete for the right to be named Minnesota’s top talent. Join in on the State Fair tradition of cheering on your favorite contestants! Prizes and trophies will go to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place acts in each of three divisions: preteen, teen and open. More than $20,000 in cash prizes will be awarded! This event is free - no ticket required! The 2025 MSF Amateur Talent Contest is proudly sponsored by Chase.
