We now know where the 2026 Alice in Dairyland Finals will be held.
The DATCP has announced that the 79th Alice in Dairyland will be crowned the weekend of May 14th through the 16th in Marathon County.
Marathon County has over 2,200 farms, 97% of which are family owned.
More than 473,000 acres of land across the county are devoted to agriculture, and the industry provides more than 11,000 jobs and $2.8 billion in economic activity each year.
The selection of the 79th Alice in Dairyland will take place on May 16, 2026, in Wausau.
The interview process includes the three-day finals event each May, as well as a two-day briefing event several weeks earlier.
These events include press conferences, agribusiness tours, interviews with the media, and speeches.
Some finale events are open to the public and include opportunities to showcase the host county’s local businesses and products.
