ALL ABOARD FOR FAMILY FUN AT THE 32nd ANNUAL RAIL FAIR
The 4000 Foundation, Limited proudly announces plans for Rail Fair to be held Saturday,
July 13, 2024 from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM at Copeland Park, Rose & Clinton Streets, La
Crosse. Since 1991, Rail Fair has grown to become one of the premier summer railroad
events in the Midwest. This 32nd 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. Rail Fair patrons will have the opportunity to buy, sell, and trade an
outstanding selection of model, toy and antique trains, books, magazine, railroad
memorability, railroad art, hobby supplies, repairs and replacement parts and accessories,
and many more related items.
The La Crosse Short Line Railroad Heritage Museum will be open for guided tours. The big
steam locomotive whistle can be blown for a small donation. Several railroad exhibits and
displays will also be offered. Concessions will be provided by Frontier-Badget #45 Masonic
Lodge.
Admission is just $5.00. Children under 12 are free when accompanied by an adult.
Raif Fair is a production of The 4000 Foundation, Limited, in partnership with the La Crosse
Parks & Recreation Department. The 4000 Foundation is a non-profit organization formed in
1998.
