If you’re planning to hit the Western Idaho Fair, take a deep breath. You’re going to wait in line at some point.

And it’s gonna be worth it!

This year’s fair runs today through Sunday, Aug. 24, at Expo Idaho , with all sorts of returning favorites and new thrills.

The big draw? Grandstand concerts. They’re all free with paid fair admission. Limited reserved and VIP tickets to the shows were sold in advance. But since the deadline for those has passed, expect a friendly free-for-all when it comes to the remaining general-admission seats.

If you play your cards right, you can minimize waits and score good concert seats. You’ll also have plenty of time to check out some of the new attractions.

Here are tips and highlights for this year’s fair:
