Louisa County Fair - American Pride: Statler Brothers Tribute
Program Details & Spotlights
Kick off the opening night of the annual Louisa County Fair with a highly nostalgic, family-friendly performance by American Pride on the Main Stage. This premier Statler Brothers tribute band brings the classic sounds of traditional country and bluegrass music to Walton Park. Guests can enjoy the music after checking out the afternoon's Dock Dogs show or the 4-H Costume Class in the Livestock Arena.
The annual Louisa County Fair is a cornerstone of summer for Lake Anna locals and visitors alike, and there’s no better way to kick off the opening night festivities than under the stars at Walton Park. As the afternoon heat yields to a cool evening breeze, the Main Stage comes alive with the golden-era harmonies of American Pride. This isn't just a concert; it’s a nostalgic journey back to the heyday of traditional country and gospel-infused bluegrass, capturing the exact spirit of the legendary Statler Brothers.
Make a full day of your trip to Mineral. Located just a short, scenic drive south of Lake Anna's shores, the fairgrounds offer the perfect afternoon getaway. Before the music starts, you can spend your afternoon cheering on the incredible canine athletes at the Dock Dogs competition or enjoying the sheer homegrown charm of the 4-H Costume Class over in the Livestock Arena. Grab a fresh funnel cake, dust off your boots, and claim your spot on the grass as the sun begins to set over the park.
American Pride is renowned across the region for their breathtakingly accurate replication of the Statler Brothers' signature four-part harmony. From foot-stomping bluegrass rhythms to soulful country ballads, their performance evokes the heartfelt storytelling that defined a generation of American music. It’s the kind of wholesome, high-energy show where multi-generational families sit side-by-side, long-time fans sing along to every word, and kids dance in the grass near the stage.
