Wisconsin State Fair Chaos Unleashed | Milwaukee News
from Milwaukee News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
The Wisconsin State Fair ended in chaos as multiple fights erupted across the grounds on Sunday, August 16th, prompting a heavy police response. What began with ticketless attendees quickly spiraled into altercations, with videos showing crowds and officers trying to restore order. No serious injuries were reported, but seven people were arrested by state fair, West Allis, and Milwaukee police — including one officer who was struck but not seriously hurt. This isn’t the first time the fair has faced unrest: in 2011, after over 30 arrests and 10 injuries on opening night, it implemented a curfew banning anyone under 18 after 5 PM. Since its inception in 1892 and patrolled since 1907 by the Wisconsin State Fair Police, the event has mostly run smoothly — until now.
