Barn Closures

Each year thousands of animals are exhibited at the Wisconsin State Fair, and most of these animals do not stay for the entire 11 days of the Fair.

For the safety of the animals, exhibitors, and Fairgoers, the barns must be closed occasionally to allow animals to leave, barns to be cleaned, and new animals to come in. The barns will re-open to the public the following morning.

On days the barns close early for animals to leave, certain streets in Ag Village will be closed or have limited access.
