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."

Country music party in a cornfield 🎶
#ConcertInTheCorn 🌽🤠🍻

Get ready for the perfect blend of small-town charm and big-stage energy at the Concert in the Corn Country Music Festival. Held annually in late August at White River Ag Products in Mason, Wisconsin, this multi-day outdoor extravaganza transforms a beautifully rugged, working agricultural farm into a high-octane celebration of live country music, community, and heartland culture.

What started as a simple dream to hold a spectacular concert under the stars on a local farm has quickly grown into one of Northern Wisconsin’s premier music events. Drawing thousands of passionate music lovers each year, the festival features a curated lineup that bridges the gap between today’s nationally recognized country chart-toppers and beloved regional bands.

​Designed as a limited-capacity, fan-first event, Concert in the Corn ensures that every spot on the grounds feels intimate and close to the action. Fans can tailor their weekend with multiple viewing options, ranging from general admission lawn spots and dedicated reserved seating to premium VIP sections. From the high-energy kick-off party to the final headlining encore, the festival grounds buzz with continuous dancing, singing, and pure Midwestern hospitality.
