The fair is a great opportunity to reconnect with family and friends this month. Enjoy a unique date night on the Ferris wheel and check out some delicious fair food and live music or take the kids out for a snow cone, some carnival games and ride the low-key toddler rides. Whether you enjoy a carefree experience of summer on the midway, crave thrill rides or love spinning ‘til you’re dizzy … there is something for everyone at the 2022 Dodge County Fair midway.
The Dodge County Fair opens on Wednesday, August 17 and the fun continues through Sunday, August 21. All five days of the fair will feature special pricing and offerings on the midway. This year’s midway will feature twice the savings and even more fun!

Most rides require three or more tickets to ride.
Food and Entertainment
If you are in need of a break from the rides, enjoy some delicious fair food at one of the many concession stands and food trucks, attend a variety of showmanship activities throughout the fairgrounds or take your chance at some affordable carnival games. Each evening during the fair also features free entertainment in the grandstands. Free concerts with top-notch acts like Clay Walker (Thursday), Russell Dickerson (Friday) and Smash Mouth (Saturday) will be offered at 8pm. Wednesday’s agenda includes the Badger State Tractor Pull from 7-10pm and Sunday includes two demolition derbies at 1pm and 6pm.
Squeeze the most of your summer and enjoy an unforgettable outing at the midway. The Dodge County Fairgrounds are located just outside of Beaver Dam – just a short distance from Madison, Milwaukee and Green Bay.
