The Beach Boys coming to the WI State Fair

The calendar still says winter, but we're getting a little taste of summer this morning. We're getting our second of four exclusive announcements this week for the Wisconsin State Fair. Tim McCormick, Communication Manager for the Wisconsin State Fair, joined FOX6 WakeUp in studio with the big announcement.

Wisconsin State Fair officials announced on Monday, Feb. 16, that The Beach Boys will perform at the Bank Five Nine Main Stage on Sunday, Aug. 16 at 6 p.m. to close out the 2026 Wisconsin State Fair.
