WEST ALLIS, Wis. – June 14, 2024 – As the year-long 100th Anniversary Celebration of the iconic Cream Puff continues, the Wisconsin State Fair and Original Cream Puffs are thrilled to reveal even more delicious details of this stellar celebration at the Wisconsin State Fair, August 1 – 11 in West Allis. So much has changed in the world in the last 100 years, but Fairgoers in Wisconsin can always count on the Original Cream Puff. Beginning in 2020, Cream Puffs changed the game with new flavors like cocoa, strawberry, pumpkin spice, Irish cream and more that Fairgoers could only get at specialty events. As the culmination of the 100-year celebration approaches, it only seemed fitting to add even more incredible flavors to the menu – for a limited time. For the first time in Wisconsin State Fair history, flavored Cream Puffs will be available at the State Fair. Introducing four brand-new Cream Puff flavors is no small feat and these new recipes have been meticulously deliberated and tested with an expert Cream Puff focus group. These specialty Cream Puff flavors will only be available on select days to the first 1,924 Fairgoers, a number honoring the debut year, 1924, of the Original Cream Puff at Wisconsin State Fair. Wisconsin State Fair anticipates these specialty Cream Puffs will go fast, so Fairgoers should be ready when the Original Cream Puff Pavilion opens at 10 a.m. each day of the State Fair. The fan-favorite original flavor will be available each day in singles, 3-packs, and 6-packs.
