Downtown Stevens Point
offers distinct flavors and smells to ring in the summer season. In
the historic public square, Corn on the Curb held annually the first Saturday of August. It is a traditional corn roast with a seasoning of music and
family fun. If you're a little early, be sure to visit the Farmers Market, held
daily from May to October for over 150 years at the same location.
What
is Wisconsin
without a good brat in one hand and a cold beverage in the other? Add great
music and the best Wisconsin flavor hits its
peak. During Brews, Brats & Bands celebration held the 3rd
weekend in August at Brewery Park, the best summertime
flavors are easy to find.

countryside between two lakes. Or, visit downtown Amherst
