If Saturday did not fall victim to a summer storm, you might have seen another record crowd at the Door County Fair this year. In 2022, the Door County Fair switched to its more traditional dates that coincide with the second weekend of August and the back end of the Wisconsin State Fair. Fair attendance was down about 1,300 people from its 150th-anniversary celebration that welcomed the BoDeans to the main stage, but it was still up from its pre-pandemic levels. That includes Saturday’s washout, where the fair saw about half of what it usually sees. The fair’s opening day saw record crowds, and Sunday was about double what they are used to seeing. Door County Fair President Tom Ash says more people participated in the fair as exhibitors than in years past.
The Door County Fair will return to John Miles County Park in Sturgeon Bay next year, August 9th-13th.
