One doesn’t hit up the Wisconsin State Fair (August 4-14) to eat organic small plate cuisine and witness evocative performance art. People go to the fair to eat cream puffs and weird stuff on a stick, watch pig races and dog diving demos, compete in livestock competitions, and catch performances from acts like Nelly, The Oak Ridge Boys, Tesla, and Charlie Berens. It’s weird, it’s wonderful, and it’s back. WE CAN’T WAIT.

And don’t forget about local music. Lakefront Brewery will once again be stocking its Beer Garden tent—located near the Cream Puff Pavilion—with a solid local act every night of the fest. Will Ester Flonaze’s Drag Queen Bingo & Variety Show be on at 2 p.m. every single day, too? You bet. Will we list it below for every single day? Yep!
