The 20/30 Party Stage offers live music with a dancefloor twice a night, featuring tribute bands consisting of Bad Jovi, Uptown Funk (a tribute band to Bruno Mars), Violin on Fire (Valley native Patrick Contreras), and Cumbia favorite La Sonora San Jose.

Concert Series

The 2023 Table Mountain Concert Series, presented by Estrella Jalisco, promises to be an unforgettable musical experience for attendees of all ages. Smash Mouth opens the fair on Thursday, September 7th, Tesla takes the stage on Friday, September 8th, Chase Rice performs on Saturday, September 9th, and La Séptima Banda and Noel Torres close out the concert series on Sunday, September 10th. This eclectic mix of top-tier artists is FREE to enjoy with paid gate admission, and the festival-style venue provides open seating, rentable lawn chairs, and a perfect open-air atmosphere under the night sky.

Each night as the headline concert closes, the skies above the Madera Fairgrounds will come alive with an electric drone show that lights up the night!
