In celebration of the Wisconsin State Fair’s 175th anniversary, we are celebrating older adults in a big way.

After a seven-year hiatus, Capri Communities and the Wisconsin State Fair Park are bringing back Senior Day!

On Monday, August 10, Adults 60+ will receive reduced admission of $7 – over 50% off regular admission rates. Show your ID at the gate for this special discount.

And there’s more! The first 2000 older adults will also receive a special tote bag compliments of Capri Communities who will be celebrating seniors at the Fair’s Central Park near the Exposition Center and Cream Puff pavilion.

Capri’s Senior Day Celebration will run from 10am – 4pm and will feature live entertainment as well as a host of fun surprises for older adults and the whole family!

Senior Day - Live Entertainment Schedule

A group of people dressed mostly in white play ukuleles and sing together on an outdoor stage under leafy trees on a sunny day. Music stands and microphones are set up in front of them.

The Ukuladies

10:00am - 10:30am
The Ukuladies are fun-loving musicians from around the Milwaukee and Southeast Wisconsin area who enjoy playing and singing together. While most play ukuleles of various sizes, they also play banjolele, mandolin, accordion and the occasional flute.

A colorful marquee-style sign reads, “Are you smarter than a senior? Let the games begin!” with decorative lights, a lightbulb, a pencil, and stars around the bold, playful text.
