WEST ALLIS, Wis. — A fall tradition we have been enjoying for the past 30 years kicked off on Friday.

Harvest Fair is happening all weekend long at the Wisconsin State Fairgrounds in West Allis.

As hundreds poured into the grounds on Friday, the fair celebrated the beginning of all things fall.

The weekend is filled with live performances, festive food, a farmers market, and family activities.

A fan-favorite, the Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show, features log rolling, wood chopping, and axe throwing.

There is also a chance to build your own scarecrow, bowl with pumpkins, or pick a pumpkin out of their patch for an additional cost.

Along with the autumn-themed activities, the fair is selling Pumpkin Spice and Latte Cream Puffs by Original Cream Puffs. There are also items like a Cinnamon Apple Crisp, seasonal pies, and a special Harvest Stew.

The fair runs until 11p.m. Friday, 10a.m. to 11p.m. Saturday, and 10a.m. to 6p.m. Sunday.

Admission to the park is free. Activity tickets and food can be purchased on the grounds. Parking is $10 per vehicle and $5 per motorcycle.

Anyone under the age of 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian after 5p.m. each day.
