City around

Welcome To Wausau, WI

The name originated with the Ojibwe and means "a faraway place." European settlers were attracted to the beauty of the area and the Wisconsin River. They established settlements in the 1850s.

Along with farms, lumber industries emerged due to the thick, surrounding forests. Frequented locations include the Granite Peak Ski Area on nearby Rib Mountain, the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum and the Yawkey House Museum.

Things To Do

First Thursday events take place each month and are designed to attract all to the downtown area. Visitors have the chance to enjoy horse-drawn carriage rides. Street performers and art exhibits entertain the crowds. All are also invited to participate in a scavenger hunt.

The community welcomes the warmer weather during the annual Summer Weekend Kickoff in the middle of June. The celebration takes place on Oak Island and includes various kid and family-friendly games. There are craft exhibits, fair foods, live entertainment and an outdoor movie. Other activities include a classic car show and a fun run.

From the third week of June through the third week in August, music lovers attend the annual Concerts on the Square on Wednesday nights. Each week, local and regional artists offer different types of musical concerts on the outdoor stage.

For four days in the middle of July, Wausau presents the annual Balloon and Rib Fest at the Downtown Airport. Day and night, colorful hot air balloons rise into the sky. Various vendors offer scrumptious BBQ ribs and other foods. There is also a beer garden, yoga classes and family-based games along with inflatables, animal exhibits, live entertainment and nightly fireworks displays.

The first weekend in October brings the arrival of the Harvest Fest. The festivities take place on the 400 block and include a pumpkin patch, pumpkin decorating and carving demonstrations. Visitors have the chance to embark on carriage rides and listen to live entertainment. The event features a wealth of activities for young and old along with food and treats.
