Dane County Fair

We are officially 50 days away from the 2026 Dane County Fair!

Before you know it, we’ll be trading our spring jackets for fair food and rides! Mark your calendars for July 16th, the best week of summer is just around the corner.

Get ready to get up close and personal with some of the coolest creatures on the planet! We are thrilled to announce our new daily entertainment for the 2026 Fair: Repterience, the Reptile Education Experience! 🐢✨

This isn’t just a show, it’s an immersive, hands-on journey into the world of scales and shells. Whether you’re a reptile fanatic or just a little curious, Repterience offers a fun and educational look at these amazing animals.

The barns are officially the heart of the Dane County Fair! Beyond the lights of the Carnival, you’ll find our incredible youth exhibitors putting months of dedication, early mornings, and late nights to the test in our animal shows and competitions. These shows are about more than just blue ribbons, they’re about responsibility, sportsmanship, and pride.
