In addition, two free concerts included in fair admission are scheduled. The All-Ohio State Fair Band & Youth Choir is to perform at 1 p.m. on Sunday and Hotel California, an Eagles tribute, is set for 1 p.m. on July 30.

All concerts are held in the indoor, air-conditioned WCOL Celeste Center. 

The Ohio State Fair also enacted a new safety policy restricting youths to be unaccompanied at the fairgrounds after 6 p.m., but what about the concerts?

Ohio State Fair’s new safety policy: No unaccompanied minors after 6

There is one exception to this rule: Underage concertgoers with valid tickets will get a bit of leeway and be permitted to enter the fair and concerts after 6 p.m. without an adult. However, once the concert is over, they will be required to leave the fair “in a timely manner” or meet up with a chaperone.
