Lodi Agricultural Fair

media release: Our 159th Lodi Agricultural Fair will be July 10th-13, 2025 in Lodi Wisconsin.

For four days each summer, our community of 3,000+ opens the fair gates to exhibitors, volunteers, and visitors of all ages for some old-fashion family fun. This open fair is free of gate fees, exhibitor fees, and stalling fees, making it easy for you to be one of over 450 exhibitors or over 10,000 visitors each year. Visit with our 4-H, FFA and other youth exhibitors as they showcase projects from the beef, swine, sheep, dairy, rabbits and poultry departments. Stroll through the Junior, School, and Open Class buildings to view over 2000 projects from art to woodworking projects and there is plenty to see in between. Make sure you “taste” your way around the fairgrounds as we have wonderful food selections. For the ride seekers, we offer carnival rides for the whole family and watch for pre-fair discounts. In the evening, enjoy a rodeo, demo derby, and truck n tractor pull in our grandstand. Remember there is live music for all ages. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and check our event schedule for updates often, you won’t want to miss a thing at this fair.
