The Steele County Fair Battle of the Bands will be held in front of the Grandstand this year; a free show on Wednesday August 13 at 7:00pm.

The "Battle of the Bands" has outgrown its recent home on the KRFO Radio Theater Stage. Last year nearly 600 fans packed that spot to cheer on their favorite band.

There is a limit of 10 bands. Participants do not have to be from Steele County.

If the winning band is from Steele County, it will be entered in the talent contest at the Minnesota State Fair.
