Sauk County Fairgrounds — Local services in Baraboo

Went for the 2021 fireworks display. It was my first time attending this specific event. The fair grounds are large and give many options for setting up your spot. There were a few food vendors and a beer tent.

Two complaints.. the entry way and exit are very small and it really slows down the ability to leave. Be prepared to rub elbows.

The crowd noticeably picked up after 5pm and there was a tractor pull event that night. We left before the event and were easily able to get in and out. The fair is...

Crowded! Went to BADGER STATE PULLS. Very disappointing this year! $20 to get in. Only 1 combination entrance/exit to Grandstands! It was ridiculous & extremely dangerous!
