Phil Vassar in concert

Get ready for an unforgettable night of country hits as multi-award-winning artist Phil Vassar takes the Moraine Park Main Stage on Thursday, August 20, 2026, at 8:00 PM. Known for his infectious energy and piano-pounding hits, Vassar brings a legendary catalog to the Dodge County Fair, featuring fan favorites like “Just Another Day in Paradise,” “Carlene,” and “Six-Pack Summer.” This outdoor performance offers a rare chance to see a Nashville powerhouse—who has penned chart-toppers for Tim McGraw and Alan Jackson—right here in Wisconsin.

Experience the Dodge County Fair for less with daily admission starting at $10 before noon and $15 after noon, or take advantage of a special $10 all-day rate on Sunday. For the best value, season tickets are available for $35 in advance ($40 at the gate), and children nine and under enter for free. Your admission includes free parking and access to all grandstand events, including concerts and tractor pulls. Tickets can be purchased at the Fairgrounds Office or at local retailers in Dodge County and Beaver Dam; please note that no carry-ins are allowed.

Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to explore the livestock exhibits and classic fair food, as seating at the Main Stage is first-come, first-served. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of his 10 No. 1 singles or just looking for the perfect summer night under the stars, you won’t want to miss this master storyteller in action.
