The safety and security of Fairgoers remains a priority at Wisconsin State Fair. With this standard of uncompromised safety in mind, Wisconsin State Fair officials are introducing this enhancement to existing protocols.

While visiting the State Fair, all bags must to be 9”x10”x12” or smaller. As always, all bags are subject to inspection.

  • All bags (clear, backpack, tote, camera) 9” x 10” x 12” or smaller will be permitted
  • Empty soft-sided bags, totes, backpacks, etc. regardless of size are permitted and will be searched
  • Fairgoers are NOT limited to the number of bags smaller than 9” x 10” x 12” that they bring in, and all bags will be searched
  • Empty reusable bottles, cups, and souvenir cups will be permitted
  • Any carry-in items for family care, such as water or snacks for children, or medical reasons will be permitted – no medical proof or note needed

Fairgoers are encouraged to leave unnecessary items at home. We realize this policy will change the way you prepare to come to the Fair and appreciate your flexibility and patience.
