The Stanislaus County Fair will end its 2025 run with a bang. There is still time to grab a corn dog, view the hundreds of exhibits submitted by local residents, enjoy a concert or take in the action at the FoodMaxx Arena.
The final two free concerts and arena events include:
— Chart-topping country duo LOCASH will take the Modelo Variety Free Stage today at 8:30 p.m. With hits like “I Love This Life,” “One Big Country Song,” and “I Know Somebody,” LOCASH brings high energy and feel-good vibes that promise an unforgettable night for country fans and fairgoers alike. Named “country music's iconic feel-good duo” by PEOPLE, LOCASH — Preston Brust and Chris Lucas — are adding a new dimension to their hitmaking career with the launch of their own record label, Galaxy Label Group.
With distribution by BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, LOCASH will continue “hitting homers and serving up first-class songs,” as hailed by American Songwriter. With fresh music expected to release in spring, this new era follows back-to-back high-profile collaborations “Let It Slide” (Leslie Jordan, Blanco Brown, LOCASH) and “Beach Boys” (feat. The Beach Boys’ Mike Love and Bruce Johnston). Known for PLATINUM breakout “I Love This Life” and GOLD#1’s “One Big Country Song” and “I Know Somebody,” LOCASH have earned eight charting singles, two successful albums, and over a billion global streams, and hold a history of nods from the genre’s biggest awards shows since launching in 2015.
