About Wisconsin State Fair

The fair has been a Wisconsin tradition since 1851 and features the iconic cream puffs that have become synonymous with the event.
What to Expect
Visitors will find massive livestock competitions, 4-H and FFA exhibits from across the state, a giant carnival midway, hundreds of food vendors, daily entertainment on multiple stages, and world-class grandstand headliners.
Visitor Tips
The cream puffs are legendary — the line moves fast and they are absolutely worth it. Plan to arrive on a weekday to avoid peak weekend crowds, and check the grandstand entertainment schedule in advance for top acts.
