Walworth County Fairgrounds
411 E Court St Elkhorn, WI 53121 |
August 1 - August 2, 2025 (Elkhorn, Wisconsin) Cancelled for 2026 The second Neon Nights Wisconsin Music Festival will take place August 1st & 2nd, 2025 at the Walworth County Fairgrounds. Experience true midwest charm at Walworth County Fairgrounds. A nearly 100-acre site perfect for any event. A hospitable home to horse shows, camping, festivals, markets, celebrations and more, the historic Walworth County Fairgrounds welcomes you to visit. "We want to share that Neon Nights will not be held at the Walworth County Fairgrounds in 2026. Over the past several months, we’ve worked closely with agents and talent buyers to secure the kind of lineup this event was created around. In the end, we just weren’t able to find the right mix of artists that fit the classic country sound and experience Neon Nights was meant to deliver. Rather than force the event into something it’s not, we’ve made the decision to pause for 2026 and begin working toward a stronger Neon Nights in 2027. We’re proud of the memories made since launching the festival in 2024 and appreciate everyone who has supported it along the way. Thank you for your support and we look forward to welcoming you back soon." |
