July 9, Summer Festivals Return

Wisconsin is host to dozens of festivals throughout the summer months, as residents celebrate their heritage, their favorite foods and their favorite music. COVID-19 may have put Wisconsin’s festivals on hold last summer, but with vaccination rates edging up and cases declining, Wisconsinites are eager to celebrate together once again. Shereen Siewert welcomes Wisconsin Department of Tourism Acting Secretary Anne Sayers to the show for tips on the best picks for summer festival fun.

From parades to fairs, there’s something for everyone this summer in Wisconsin, all within easy driving distance for a quick weekend road trip. Some festivals are old favorites, but there are plenty of unique events in Wisconsin that will undoubtedly be new to many.
