Stop and see what surprises the Waukesha County Fair has! On the corner of Main and Clinton.

Join us for Fair fun TONIGHT! 🎶🎸

What a gorgeous day to head downtown for Friday Night Live!

We’re SO excited to join in on the fun! Stop by to say hi to both our Waukesha County Fairest of the Fair Julia Missall and our 4-H’er of the Fair Julia Richardson, meet a few feathered friends, and get a sneak peek at all the fun coming to the Waukesha County Fair, July 15–19!

We’re proud to be part of a community filled with wonderful downtown partners, including Rochester Deli, Inc. & Periwinkle's Bakery on Broadway Couri Insurance Agency, Mainstream Bar & Grill, The Waukesha Freeman, Allô! Chocolat, People's Park, and Waukesha Public Library.
