2025 Holiday Craft Bash, another great turn out... If you want to start your holiday shopping early or just looking for holiday decorations indoor or out this is the place you need to check out. 300 Vendors and some food trucks to hold you over while you shop..

Boring, didn't really have much have much to offer. Mostly carnival rides and food. Very few vendors. Not much to see and very small. We expected so much more and were very disappointed. We've been to county fairs where you couldn't see everything in one day. This one, we saw everything twice and still left within a little over 4 hours. Carnival rides were way too expensive. $8+ per ride is way out of my comfort zone with 9 people. Glad we went, we won't be returning.

2024 update: Another nice fair. Love the Groot character at the entrance. Very entertaining. ********************************************* The Walworth County Fair is the best county fair in the entire state! (Well I haven't been to many of them). It has all the traditional things that you would find at a county fair. All the farm animals; cows, sheep, chickens, goats, bunnies, etc. The buildings are well maintained, clean, and cool. There are plenty of activities that showcase the great work by local farmers and youth groups. There is a large assortment of fair foods. It's a non-alcoholic event (except for a single restaurant that only serves beer with the meal inside). They have a parking lot across from the entrance. Plenty of spaces and the parking was free.

Walworth County Fair Grounds hosting Rib Fest again… what a great time and great food. This is a Competition Barbecue Fest. The best of the best are here on this 4-day weekend…. Selling their Barbecue and Smoked Ribs, Pork, Chicken. Most places have the BBQ Sides…. Some are good… some are not as good. You decide, because there is a voting booth for the best barbecue by the patrons of this festival. Also, there are live bands, carnival rides, Fair Food and vendors that sell various wares. The County provides benches and sitting areas, but due to the volume of people that show up for this…you may want to bring your own packable chairs. There are also modern bathrooms and portable hand washing stations set up for people to wipe off all that barbecue.

Excellent fairground. A ton of fun. Parking is decent, lots of room and $10 to park. Lots of stadium seating with rain / sun coverage. Definitely a great place. Went to see Monster Trucks and it was a fantastic time. Highly recommend checking out the fairgrounds if you’re in the area and see what events they have going on.

This is by far the best county fair in the state. Great family experience. The Walworth County Fair is 3-4 times larger than most county fairs. We saw the draft horses, beef, dairy, goats, sheep, pigs, rabbits, poultry and small animals. Enjoyed Live music in the park, food stands, 4-H and open class exhibits, (especially the 953 lb pumpkin & handmade quilts), kiddie land, the midway rides, and the tractor pull. We toured several RVs and enjoyed ice cream from the farm bureau. Sampled all of our favorites including, gyros, lemonade, corn dogs, funnel cake, eclairs, cream puffs, elephant ears & cinnamon rolls. Dinner & shakes at Stowell’s. So proud of my dad, Chuck Kopsell, Superintendent of the Open Class Beef Show. This fair has been our family’s favorite annual tradition for 50 years now.

Great time! The demo derby was SO FUN with our out-of-town guests from Boise who had never seen one! Guess we're spoiled here in WI. Seeing the animals and talking with the owners was so nice. This is a proper fair. Courtesy rides from the FREE parking to inside the fair was incredible. Can't wait to bring some more people next year for another fun time.
