The Stoughton Fair is a not-for-profit event which utilizes hundreds of area volunteers to manage and carry out this event. We provide a venue for 4-H, FFA, FHA, Scouts, Sr. Citizens and Adults to compete and learn valuable life skills such a good sportsmanship, good work ethic, responsibility for themselves and others as well as leadership and community involvement. Youngsters develop life-long friendships as well as knowledge about future careers and hobbies.

The Stoughton Fair draws over 40,000 exhibitors and visitors from the Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois area. Our growing community event charges no fair gate admission or parking fee, but we do charge for individual grandstand events to assist in covering the costs of contracting such high quality family acts. In an effort to remain a family event we serve no alcoholic beverages. We strive to keep this community event a family based activity.
