Celebrate De Pere May 25 – 27
Celebrate De Pere is almost here! The Memorial weekend festival at Voyageur Park is one of the biggest summer events in the area. This year, the fun starts on Saturday, May 25.
The big draw at Celebrate is usually the music, with two stages hosting bands all day long. This year, the headliner on Saturday night is Sammy Llanas (formerly of the BoDeans) and Sunday is Laura Bell Bundy.
Of course, there are lots of other activities. A car show, rides, the children’s area, the marketplace, and the redneck regatta will keep your family plenty occupied. If you’re feeling athletic, you can even run in Christy’s Race, a four miler, on Sunday morning.
Advance tickets are $5. Tickets remain $5 at the gate until 7pm each night, at which point they will cost $10. Kids 8 and under are free. Also, all veterans get in free with proof of service.
