The chairman of the Wisconsin State Fair Park Board says he can now officially announced that the 2021 Wisconsin State Fair will be held in person this summer. In a statement released on Wednesday, John Yingling said the 170th exposition will take place August 5-15 in accordance with health guidelines.
"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," Yingling said. "We are over three months away, therefore final health and safety protocols will be determined as we approach the fair dates."
He adds that increased sanitization protocols are already in place throughout the park because of its accreditation as a GBAC Star facility.
Meanwhile, the fair office also announced this week that tickets are already being sold for entertainment acts on the main stage. And admission tickets for the fair itself will also go on sale soon.
The Wisconsin State Fair is considered to be the largest event in the state, drawing more than a million people over the course of 11 days.
