Okauchee Lions Days

Summer Starts Here: Okauchee Lions Days is Back! 🦁
If your family is looking for a classic Wisconsin summer weekend, this is it. Okauchee Lions Days returns this weekend with carnival rides, live music, great food, youth baseball, raffles, and plenty of small-town summer fun. Best of all? Admission is free, so you can bring the whole crew and make a day (or three) of it!
Spend the afternoon cheering on local baseball teams, let the kids burn off some energy on the rides, grab dinner from one of the many food vendors, and stick around for live music and cold drinks. Sunday's unlimited ride wristbands are always a hit, and don't forget to stop by for face painting from Life's a Party while you're there.
With everything from BBQ and lobster rolls to cheese curds, pretzels, gyros, and sweet treats, there's something for every appetite. Add in daily raffles, live entertainment all weekend long, and that unmistakable community festival atmosphere, and you've got the perfect way to kick off summer.

Arrive early because the first 50 guests will receive a free swag bag filled with goodies!
