State Fair Classic Weekend Event Schedule
Today marks the start of the final countdown. We’re just days away from one of the biggest weekends in Texas and college football. On September 27th, Prairie View A&M University will face off against Grambling State University in the State Fair Classic. This year is extra special as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of this historic rivalry. Fans can look forward to a weekend packed with festivities, from celebrity golf tournaments to highly anticipated performances by artists like TLC. And of course, no Classic weekend would be complete without the legendary 5th Quarter Battle of the Bands.
The weekend kicks off Friday, September 26th, with the 13th annual Radio-One celebrity golf tournament at 8:30 a.m.
