INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indiana State Fair has canceled paid concerts at next year’s fair because shows moved to downtown Indianapolis following a deadly 2011 stage rigging collapse failed to attract big crowds during August’s fair, officials said Thursday.
A financial report on this year’s fair showed that revenue from fair events that included those concerts was just 40 percent of what officials had expected, totaling only about $1.1 million. The report showed the fair made an overall profit of more than $505,000.
