Harvest Fair is coming. The fall celebration takes place Sept. 27-29 at State Fair Park, 640 S. 84th St., offering entertainment, activities, fall-worthy food and beverages and more. Tickets are just $5 (and free for attendees under 11 years of age) and can be purchased online.
But that’s not all! While the Original Cream Puff Pavilion is currently out of commission (it’s getting some much needed renovations), cream puffs will still be available for anyone who wants to indulge!
This year, the Wisconsin Bakers Association has baked up something brand new: Harvest Fair Cream Puff Kits. The build-your-own kits come with everything you need to whip up three perfect pumpkin spice or chocolate-filled cream puffs.
The kits are available for pre-order now for $16 (pack of three) and $18 per pack starting Sept. 22. The kits can be picked up at the Cream Puff Drive-Thru Friday, Sept. 27-29 between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Harvest Fest Attendees can also pick up their kits at the Fair in Central Park (admission tickets are required for entry).
Pre-order yours online now before the price goes up!

In 2024, Lori was honored with a "Top 20 Women in Hospitality to Watch" award by the Wisconsin Restaurant Association.
When she’s not eating, photographing food, writing or recording the FoodCrush podcast, you’ll find Lori seeking out adventures with her husband Paul, traveling, cooking, reading, learning, snuggling with her cats and looking for ways to make a difference.
