If you haven't been to the 50th State Fair at the Aloha Stadium yet, this is your final weekend. Besides the midway with rides and games, food booths and entertainment, there's also a cute sea-lion show.

Fair hours are from noon to midnight today and tomorrow. Admission is $3 from noon to 6 p.m., $5 from 6 p.m. to closing; free for those under 40 inches tall.

Information: www.ekfernandez.com.

Kinda related and kinda not related is the nearby Bomb Bucha Concert, with headliner Maxi Priest and a lineup of popular local acts, including Three Plus, O-Shen, Go Jimmy Go and Red Degree.

This concert used to be at the Waikiki Shell and drew thousands. It's likely to draw thousands again at the stadium. Gates open at 4 p.m. today, the music begins at 5 p.m. Admission is $20, and you can enter the 50th State Fair after the concert, too (if you're 21 or older, you even get free admission to the Bomb Bucha VIP clubhouse's after-party with the musical group Ten Feet). www.islandtix.com.
