Open Fair Exhibits

As the Northern Wisconsin State Fair is a regional fair, Open Fair exhibitors can reside in any state, county, or be of any age. Competitive exhibits are the foundation of county and state fairs, and there is sure to be an area you can find that interests you to showcase your talents, skills, and antiques.

The 2026 Northern Wisconsin State Fair Exhibit Guide is available, and registration is open. If you have questions about exhibiting, contact Dawn Totzke, Exhibit Manager, at dtotzke@nwsfa.com or 715.723.2861 ext. 102.
