Dietz Stage
The Dietz Stage, located on Live Oak Field, is a celebration of homegrown talent and local musical roots. Named in honor of the Dietz family, this stage has become a fan favorite at the Fair, known for its crowd-pleasing cover bands and tribute acts. It’s the ideal place to relax, enjoy some great food, and take in a wide variety of musical styles—from soul and country to rock and more.
New to the Dietz Stage this year, we’re proud to bring the Annual Battle of the Bands, featuring youth amateur bands from across the community. The winning band will receive a 30-minute set on next year’s Dietz Stage lineup.
Interested in competing? Video submissions are open now for a chance to perform live on October 5.
