Gather a group or your whole family and take a drive Beaver Dam for the June 4 Fair Food Festival. The Dodge County Fairgrounds will be expanding on its already popular, outdoor event with a variety food trucks, vendors, more live music and popular kid-friendly activities. The June 4th event is scheduled from 11am-7pm and promises to be a unique, social outing for groups large and small. Come for the delicious food and stay for the fun.
Families will enjoy imaginative face painting (Life’s a Party Face Painting), the popular bounce house (Bovee’s Backyard Bouncers) and an interactive petting zoo (Glacier Rock Farms). All attractions have been extremely popular with youngsters during both spring events. The June event will be a great way to get all of that end-of-the-school year energy out and enjoy some fresh air.
Adults can relax and unwind while listening to live music under the pavilion. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets and lawn chairs while sitting and enjoying the local talent and a variety of fair food. This diverse event makes a great date night, girls night out, company outing or end of the season team-building event. Bring your whole organization or group – the Fair Food festival is set in a sprawling, rural setting just outside of Beaver Dam.
