Info

No. Parking is free.

Individual admission is required for all guests entering the Fairgrounds between 9:00 AM and 10:00 PM. Guests must have either a Daily Admission Ticket or a Membership (Weekly Pass).

• Most guests should use Gate 1 or Gate 2 to access Lots 1 and 1B. After parking, you'll walk to the ticket booth located at the north end of Lot 1 to purchase or turn in your tickets before entering the Fair.
• Exhibitors and campers should use Gate 4, which provides access to Lots 2, 3, and 4 near the barns and camping areas. At Gate 4, admission is purchased or turned in while you remain in your vehicle before parking.
• Need easy access to your vehicle? Guests who anticipate returning to their vehicle throughout the day (such as families with young children) may find Gate 4 to be a more convenient entrance.
• Overflow Parking: During busy times (especially Friday and Saturday), parking attendants may direct vehicles to overflow parking in designated GRASS lots. Please follow all gate signage and the directions of parking staff.

During slower times of the day, parking is self-serve and no attendants may be present. Please use any marked parking space in your preferred lot. During peak hours, attendants will be on site to direct parking. Please follow their instructions to help keep traffic moving safely and smoothly.

• We recommend entering through Gate 2 and proceeding to Lot 1. Continue to the north end of the lot to drop off passengers near the ticket booth (marked “Tickets” on the map).
• Once you've dropped off your passengers, please proceed to a designated parking space or exit through Gate 1 if you are not staying.

• If parking attendants are on duty, please let them know you are dropping off passengers, and they will direct you to the appropriate area.

• Please note that during peak arrival times, there may be a short wait for passenger drop-off.

Yes. Accessible parking is available in designated spaces in Lot 1 (enter through Gates 1 or 2). This newly paved lot provides a smooth, paved route to the ticket booths and main entrance.

• There is no designated motorcycle parking area at the Winnebago County Fair. Motorcycles may park in any available parking space on either the paved (Lot 1) or gravel lots (Lot 1B, 2 and 3).
• If parking on the newly paved lots, we recommend bringing a kickstand plate to help prevent your kickstand from sinking into the asphalt on hot days.
