Greetings from Cedarburg!
It's time once again to mark your calendar for Cedarburg's 38th Annual Wine & Harvest Festival scheduled for September 18-19. You'll find fun at every corner of the downtown Historic District from live music, market vendors, Arts on the Avenue, a scarecrow contest, the seasonal grape stomping competition plus so much more!
The Cedar Creek Winery launched the Wine & Harvest Festival 38 years ago and still serves as a hub of festival activity with their food tents, wine available by the glass or case, several contests, live music and a festival favorite, the Pumpkin Regatta. We'll see you there.
Coming Soon! After more than five years of fund raising, the Wisconsin Museum of Quilts & Fiber Arts has announced that they've begun the much anticipated renovation/addition of the museum. The museum is recognized throughout the state for its revolving collections of historically and artistically significant quilts. The project is expected to be finalized within 9-12 months. Quilt lovers, we'll keep you posted!
Did you know that Wayne's Drive- In is the place to be on Thursday nights? Check out their old-fashioned Classic Cruise Night and hula hoop contests. Bring out your own classic car and enjoy the ogling or take a peek at who arrives to show off their wheels. Fun for everybody!
