ALL ABOARD FOR FAMILY FUN AT THE 34th ANNUAL RAIL FAIR

The 4000 Foundation proudly announces plans for the 34th Annual Rail Fair to be held Saturday, July 18, 2026 from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM at the Onalaska Omni Center, 255 Riders Club Rd, Onalaska, WI. Since 1991, Rail Fair has grown to become one of the premier summer railroad events in the Midwest. This 34th annual event celebrates the area’s railroad heritage while raising funds to maintain and restore The La Crosse Short Line Railroad Heritage Museum in Copeland Park.

Raif Fair traditionally hosts vendors from six states offering 250 tables of railroad-related merchandise. Attendees will have the opportunity to buy, sell, and trade a wide assortment of model, toy and antique trains, books, magazines, railroad memorabilia, and artwork, hobby supplies and much more.

Due to construction work being done in Copeland Park, Rail Fair is being held at the Omni Center this year. The La Crosse Short Line Railroad Heritage Museum in Copeland Park will remain open for free guided tours during show hours.

Admission is just $8.00. Children under 12 are free when accompanied by an adult.

All proceeds from this event are used to maintain and restore the La Crosse Short Line Railroad Heritage Museum in Copeland Park.

The 4000 Foundation is a non-profit organization formed in 1998.
