Wisconsin State Fair plans to return this August

After a year off last year amid the pandemic, Wisconsin State Fair announced today that plans to return this summer, confirming a Aug. 5-15 run at State Fair Park. 

“In January, the Wisconsin State Fair Park Board approved a goal to have a fair this August and we are pleased to confirm we are well on our way to meeting that goal,” said Wisconsin State Fair Park's board chairman John Yingling wrote in a release.

“We are happy to confirm there are WonderFair days ahead and are excited to safely gather to celebrate everything we are so proud of in Wisconsin,” Wisconsin State Fair Park CEO Kathleen O’Leary added in the release.

The festival already has five Main Stage concerts confirmed, all rollovers from last year's canceled dates: Skillet (Aug.5), Chris Young (Aug. 6), Brothers Osborne (Aug. 11), Boyz II Men (Aug. 13) and the Beach Boys (Aug. 14). Tickets for this shows are now on sale at wistatefair.com.

More concerts will be announced soon, according to the event.
