Yes, there are rides and games, animals, a truck and tractor pull, and delicious, devilish fair food. But it’s always most fun to see what musical artists are scheduled for the evening concerts at the fair in Dane County’s neighbor to the northeast. This year’s mix of up-and-comers and legacy acts includes at least two guaranteed audience participation moments. “Fishin’ in the Dark,” the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band song which has remained inescapable in Wisconsin since 1987, is sure to inspire a sing-along on Aug. 19. And Blue Öyster Cult’s “Don’t Fear the Reaper” will certainly cause a beer bottle clank-along with the cowbell on Aug. 21 (the night also includes Starship featuring Mickey Thomas). Jordan Davis represents modern country on Aug. 20. All entertainment is free with gate admission, so it’s also a bargain. Find the full schedule at dodgecountyfairgrounds.com.
press release: The annual music festival and county fair entertains over 52,000 fans a year and is the largest outdoor event in the area. A huge tractor pull followed by three nights of national touring artist concerts entertain country and rock fans. Two demolition derbies, a Horse pull, tractor pull, and truck pull at the grandstand plus food, fun and exhibits for the whole family. Don’t forget to taste the great fair food, view the many exhibits and animals while learning, doing and just having a great time!

The three hour event will kick-off the Dodge County Fair’s FREE evening entertainment lineup – Wednesday at 7:00 pm. All spectators need to pay is their paid gate admission to the fair. The event will be held rain or shine, when possible. No rain date has been scheduled.
The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band will step foot on stage -- right here in Beaver Dam on August 19. Arrive early and secure your spot as space in the grandstands is not reservable. At 8pm, the group will kick-off hits from their career that spans five decades.
Blue Oyster Cult is scheduled for a European tour next year, but you can catch them up close and in person at the 2021 Dodge County Fair. On Saturday, August 21, the hard rock group with their heavy metal influence, will take the stage at 8pm.
