Waukesha County Fair
Wednesday, July 15th through Sunday, July 19th 2026

The oldest county fair in Wisconsin and the largest event in Waukesha County. The Waukesha County Fair is the place to celebrate our rural heritage with barnyard animals, crafts, foods, farm displays and, of course, the midway. We are a non-profit volunteer organization, dedicated to supporting 4-H activities, education and providing a fun time for children and adults of all ages. Join us!

 

All exhibitors, whether showing in Junior or Open classes, must sign up for classes by June 15. Members may sign up for either Junior classes or Open classes but not both, even if using a different horse. Horses competing in the Youth Fair show are encouraged to be on the grounds for the entire fair, but must be on the grounds by Thursday 4:00pm. They may leave after the Friday show or remain for the weekend. Horses competing in the Open show exhibitors may keep their horses on the grounds or come for just the day of the show. Horses may not be shared among competitors.

 

Sign up for any class you may be interested in. You can always cancel classes at the event, however you cannot add classes after registration closes.

Don't forget to sign up for hippology, horse photography, educational posters, or any other horse related projects under Department 210!
