Cedarburg Wine & Harvest Festival
One of Wisconsin's longest-running harvest celebrations, this free two-day September event transforms the National Register of Historic Places district of downtown Cedarburg into an open-air wine and harvest fair. The 51st edition in 2025 featured live music, grape stomp competitions, pumpkin boat races, a giant pumpkin weigh-off, farmer's market, artisan vendors, and a wine and beer garden — all free to attend. Set in one of Wisconsin's most charming 19th-century stone mill towns, it doubles as a fall foliage weekend.
