Boise flooded the grandstands for country hits and baby-boomer nostalgia at last week’s Western Idaho Fair.
The Idaho Statesman reports Singer Josh Turner and ’60s icons the Beach Boys drew massive crowds at the fair, which ended Sunday.
Average concert attendance for the five shows was 9,860 — up from last year’s nightly average of 8,825.
Known for chart-toppers such as “Why Don’t We Just Dance” and “Your Man,” Turner was the big winner.
He pulled in the third-largest attendance number ever at a fair concert: 16,200 fans on Friday.
The Beach Boys weren’t far behind Thursday with 13,400.
The biggest concert ever at the Western Idaho Fair? That was country singer Billy Currington’s record-setting draw of 17,800 fans in 2022.
