OVERVIEW
The high-energy rock continues deep into Saturday night as the 153rd Waupaca County Fair presents Cherry Pie, taking the Midway Stage at 9:00pm on August 29, 2026.
Since forming in 1999, this Wisconsin-based phenomenon has established itself as one of the state's premier rock cover bands, delivering over-the-top renditions of the biggest "hair band" hits and power ballads that defined the 1980s. With more than 1,000 live shows under their belt and prestigious appearances at Summerfest and the Wisconsin State Fair, Cherry Pie has perfected the art of the spectacle—employing national artist-level sound, extensive stage lighting, fog, and pyrotechnics to create what they proudly call the most "over the top" show around.
From Bon Jovi and Def Leppard to Poison and Motley Crue, this fun, family-friendly band brings the arenas of the '80s back to life with strong musicianship, theatrical flair, and plenty of crowd participation that keeps audiences rocking from first note to last. It's the perfect high-voltage finale to your Saturday night at the fair—so bring your energy and your singing voice for a nostalgia-fueled journey through rock's most unforgettable era.
