Melissa Etheridge, Jon Cleary and mushroom foraging: What to do on Day 4 of the Minnesota State Fair

If you’ve been waiting for a chance to see a real moon rock and spacesuits, Day 4 of the State Fair will be your last chance.

Doors open at 7 a.m. and close at 11 p.m. Ticket prices are $18 for kids from ages 5 to 12 and seniors 65 and older, and $20 for everyone else.

Weather forecasts suggest the skies will be primed for long hours of music, falafel waffles and Sweet Martha’s cookies galore. Mainly dry conditions are expected to hold through the week, and temperatures are expected to reach the 60s and 70s with lows hitting the 40s and 50s.

You can read the full schedule of Sunday’s events here, and find food and booths through the State Fair’s online search tool.

Today is the last day fairgoers can see NASA at the fair. Cool off in the air conditioning and pop into the North End Event Center to see a moon rock and the evolution of spacesuits.

The Journey to Space exhibit will run for the remainder of the fair.

Attendees can ask experts about mushroom foraging, as Jaime Rockney from Chick of the Woods Foraging reviews safety tips and recommendations.

Follow the sounds of stomping feet and music to find performances by Minnesota Africans United and the South Asian Arts & Theater House. Youth representing all five regions of Africa will dress in traditional and modern fashion while dancing to new and old music from the region.

Check out the Star Tribune stage at 10 a.m. when food and culture reporter Sharyn Jackson interviews Mike Brown, co-owner of the Travail Collective that owns Pig Ate My Pizza and ie Italian Eatery. Have burning questions about Nashville Hot Nuggets or the Big Cheeser Pizza? Bring an empty stomach and open ears.

And be sure to stay until 11 a.m. to high-five Stribby the mascot, who will come by for game time.

Check out the full stage calendar to see what we have planned for all 12 days of the State Fair.

Grandstand: The Yes We Are Tour is a winning doubleheader in the spirit of Lilith Fair. Melissa Etheridge, who has won an Oscar and two Grammys, is known for her powerful, raspy voice on ’90s hits such as “Come to My Window” and “I’m the Only One.” Indigo Girls — the duo of Amy Ray and Emily Saliers — are singers of disparate styles who come together in folk-rock harmony, especially on their 1989 hit “Closer to Fine.” That singalong has been enjoying a major redux thanks to the 2023 “Barbie” movie, in which it was featured three times.

Local: Long before tribute bands became a trend in the Twin Cities, Terry Walsh and pals were performing full-blown evenings of Van Morrison music. Buoyed by a mighty horn section, the Belfast Cowboys bring it more effectively than Van the Man did in his “It’s Too Late to Stop Now” heyday. (8 p.m. International Bazaar)
