From Barns to Beyond!
Central Wisconsin State Fair returns Tuesday, August 19 – Sunday, August 24, 2025!
With the theme “From Barns to Beyond,” the Central Wisconsin State Fair is ready to welcome back all its visitors from near and far for an activity-packed, family fun, traditional event we’ve all been craving this summer (and craving cheese curds and elephant ears, of course). There’s plenty to see and do, from the Carnival by Mr. Ed’s Magical Midways, to crowd-pleasing grandstand acts, family entertainment under one tent, and more! So come out and see the Wonders of Wisconsin, meet the Fairest of the Fair, have some excellent eats and treats, and make some memories!
