INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana State Fair Commission today recently announced plans for a multi-million dollar expansion and renovation for its on-campus boutique amphitheater, the Hoosier Lottery Free Stage, set to be completed in time for the 2026 Indiana State Fair.
The enhancements for the Hoosier Lottery Stage will include improvements to all facets of the venue including:
• New stage and expansion — 60’x40’ main stage with two 30’x40’ wings
• Added roof height — 30’ from stage deck to bottom of roof structure
• Total roof load capacity upgrade
• Brand new dual 10’x18’ LED video walls
• Flexible seating capacity setups
For years, the Hoosier Lottery Free Stage has been a major part of the annual Indiana State Fair where it welcomes internationally known artists of all genres. The renovation will be designed and built to not only enhance the State Fair experience, but to create a true concert facility and event venue accessible 365 days a year.
The State Fairgrounds also announced a partnership where Indiana-based concert promotions company, MOKB Presents will program and book the Hoosier Lottery Stage during non-State Fair dates.
