Experience these times when you visit the annual “Sawdust Days” festival, which features five days of music, food, fun, parades and the largest 4th of July fireworks display in the Fox Valley on the shores of Lake Winnebago.

With 4 stages of music, Sawdust Days is one of the country’s most unique family festivals since it’s really 3 separate festivals in 1. Over 150,000 people attend over 5 days.

The Budweiser Mainstage features Rock, Blues, Americana & Rockabilly bands from throughout the USA.
