Summer is a great time to visit Marathon County and Wood County in central Wisconsin, where you’ll find exciting fairs, festivals, and community celebrations. Here are three Marshfield events you shouldn’t miss this summer.
Dairyfest
Celebrate the agricultural bounty of Marathon County and Wood County at Dairyfest, an annual weekend-long celebration that kicks off festival season in Marshfield in late May or early June, depending on the year. On Friday morning, the Dairyfest Breakfast is held at Marshfield Fairgrounds Park, and the rest of the weekend features a full schedule of events, including a parade, kids’ activities, a picnic in the park, an outdoor movie, and more.
Hub City Days
Historic downtown Marshfield hosts this exciting event organized by Main Street Marshfield every July. The three-day celebration kicks off with a Thursday night movie at Wenzel Family Plaza, Friday sees special deals at downtown stores and restaurants and live music at the Hub City Concert Series (also at Wenzel Family Plaza). Saturday sees a massive car show that covers 10 city blocks and features more than 500 vehicles and the Hub City Brew Fest (a ticketed event).
Central Wisconsin State Fair
This annual event attracts people from Marathon County, Wood County, and throughout central Wisconsin for six days of fun every August at the Marshfield Fairgrounds Park along East 17th Street. The fair includes 4-H exhibits and events for farming and livestock, grandstand entertainment, a midway with carnival rides and fair food, beer gardens, and much more.
