WEST ALLIS, Wis. — After record-setting rains forced the cancellation of the final day of the 2025 Wisconsin State Fair, organizers announced that fairgoers who were unable to attend the final Sunday of the State Fair would be eligible to exchange those Sunday tickets for admission to the 2026 Wisconsin State Fair.

Monday marks the beginning of that window with the Wisconsin State Fair Park Ticket Office open 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. through Friday, Nov. 14 and 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 15.

“Our Fairgoers are like family,” said Shari Black, Chief Executive Officer of Wisconsin State Fair Park. “And while the end of this year’s State Fair was not what we had hoped for, the 10 days that we came together to celebrate Wisconsin was truly unforgettable. We’re hoping those eligible take this offer to help us celebrate 175 years of showing off Wisconsin in 2026 as a little ray of sunshine.”
