The Wisconsin State Fair just wrapped up and it was a massive success! I have always wanted to go and definitely have it on my bucket list for next year.

It was a super successful event this year. They even had one of my favorite country artists as one of their concert acts. Now, event organizers have shared attendance details and it may shock you.

These numbers are down slightly from the past few years but not by much. It is more visits than 2021, after the fair was closed the previous year because of the pandemic. At one point, there was heavy flooding, leading to cancelled events and closures, which was inconvenient but necessary for everyone's safety.
