There are also attractions for visitors who aren’t interested in riding the midway. The fair features the Pine Meadows Farm Children’s Zoo, agricultural displays, horticulture exhibits, photography, arts and crafts, quilting, giant pumpkins, beekeeping and other exhibits celebrating agriculture and traditional skills.
Visitors can also check out the blacksmith shop, model railroad, glass blowing, butterfly exhibit, chainsaw carving and the Marshfield Fair Museum.
Several special ride promotions are planned during the fair, including discounted wristbands and children’s ride discounts on Children’s Day.
Special Admission Days
Several days offer opportunities for visitors to save on admission.
August 21 and August 28 are Marshfield Resident Days, with discounted admission available during specified hours for residents who provide proof of residency.

With rides, live music, motorsports, animals, agricultural exhibits and family activities spread across 10 days, the 2026 Marshfield Fair offers something considerably broader than a traditional carnival midway.
The fair is scheduled to run August 21 through August 30, 2026, with the gates open daily from noon to 10 p.m. Visitors should check the fair’s official schedule before attending because individual performances, attractions and times can change.
