Grange Fair announces grandstand performer lineup for 2025. See who will take the stage
The 151st annual Centre County Grange Encampment and Fair’s grandstand lineup will feature a blend of national acts and local talent, event organizers announced Friday.
Rather than announcing each performer individually like in past years, the Grange Fair revealed its full grandstand lineup in one fell swoop. This year’s schedule features eight groups and artists ranging from country and Christian rock to a full-fledged variety show band.
Each act is scheduled for 8 p.m. at the Grange Fair’s grandstand stage. Here’s the schedule:
- Friday, Aug. 15 — country artist Darryl Worley
- Saturday, Aug. 16 — country artist Terry Lee Goffee (a tribute to Johnny Cash)
- Monday, Aug. 18 — country artist Neal McCoy
- Tuesday, Aug. 19 — Christian pop/rock group Consumed by Fire
- Wednesday, Aug. 20 — country artist Bryan Martin
- Thursday, Aug. 21 — variety show band Erich Cawalla & the Uptown Band
- Friday, Aug. 22 — Christian music duo Caleb & John
- Saturday, Aug. 23 — country rock artist Chris Woodward & Shindiggin
Country fans should recognize a good number of these scheduled acts, including Worley and McCoy, who were previously nominated through the Academy of Country Music Awards. Goffee, meanwhile, brands himself as “the world’s premier” Johnny Cash tribute artist. Woodward, a Huntingdon County native, brings a more local flair to this year’s Grange Fair roster.
All grandstand shows are free, but admission to the fairgrounds is required.
Last year’s lineup featured two-time Grammy nominee Jo Dee Messina and 2021 American Idol contestant Alex Miller, among other artists. In years past, the Grange Fair has hosted performers like Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert and Garth Brooks.
The 2025 Grange Fair is scheduled for Aug. 15-23 in Centre Hall. For more information and a closer look at upcoming events, visit the fair’s website.
