Project Overview

KMOJ Features up and coming DJ's who will show off their talents during the 12 day run of the Minnesota State Fair. Our listeners, as well as Fair attendees will have a chance to show off their favorite dance moves as our Urban DJ's spin music reflecting their personal music styles. While KMOJ's music format will be featured with each DJ, fair goers will hear R&B, Hip-Hop, Salsa and much more.
Three to four different DJs will be featured each day at the Fair, between noon and 10pm.
