Stutsman County Fair spotlights Boozn’ Tuna, Drift North and Citrisity

Boozn’ Tuna, Drift North and Citrisity are set to give the Stutsman County Fair a three-night free stage run that puts local music, family traffic and small-business spending at the center of the event in Jamestown.

The lineup has been promoted on NewsDakota’s “Let’s Talk About It,” a community-focused show heard Monday through Friday at 1:20 p.m. on Jamestown 107.1 FM that highlights area events and nonprofits in Jamestown and Stutsman County. That on-air push has helped build interest in the fair’s entertainment schedule, which places Boozn’ Tuna on the free stage Thursday, June 25, from 9 p.m. to midnight, Drift North on Friday, June 26, from 9 p.m. to midnight, and Citrisity on Saturday, June 27, from 5 to 8 p.m.

The 128th Stutsman County Fair is scheduled for June 24-27, 2026, at the fairgrounds at 3325 83rd Ave SE in Jamestown. The fair describes itself as North Dakota’s largest county fair, and its 2026 lineup pairs free stage entertainment with carnival rides and vendor and craft events that give fairgoers more than one place to spend their money and more than one reason to stay on the grounds.

That local commerce piece is part of what makes this year’s fair feel broader than a concert schedule. Before the fair opens, the grounds will also host a one-of-a-kind craft and vendor show June 13 and 14, giving area makers and small businesses an early chance to reach the crowd that will later fill the fairgrounds. For families coming through Jamestown, that means the fair is not just a place to watch a show, but a place to buy from neighbors, browse local work and move from one attraction to the next without leaving Stutsman County.

The event also carries the weight of a long local tradition. In 2023, NewsDakota described the fair as North Dakota’s longest-running county fair and said it was in its 125th year. Now, as it moves into its 128th edition, the fair is leaning on the same formula that has kept it central to summer in Stutsman County: live entertainment, carnival rides, vendor space and a strong local audience that treats the fairgrounds as both a gathering place and a marketplace.
