It’s true. The 2025 Wisconsin State Fair has cancelled the entire Fair for today, ending the Fair for this year. We have notified all our bands and employees, and as a result we will not be opening today. However, we have THREE more shows coming up PLUS we’re open during the upcoming INDYCAR event PLUS we still have Harvest Fair! So stay tuned, we are NOT done! 🤘

After last night’s flash flooding resulted in the early closure of State Fair Park, Wisconsin State Fair officials have determined the Fair Park will not reopen for Sunday, August 10. We understand the disappointment you may feel as our team works all year for these 11 days. However, the safety of our Fairgoers, team, partners, and vendors will always be our top priority.

If you purchased tickets to The "Happy Together" Tour for the show this evening through Etix, those tickets will be automatically refunded back to the purchaser.

We are saddened we cannot deliver this final day of the Wisconsin State Fair, but know that this is the best decision with current conditions and the forecast ahead.
