CEDARBURG WINE AND HARVEST FESTIVAL 2024
A Toast to Autumn Fun
If you're searching for the quintessential autumn experience, look no further than the Cedarburg Wine and Harvest Festival. From September 21 to September 22, 2024, this charming small-town event, presented by Festivals of Cedarburg, will fill the historic streets of Cedarburg, Wisconsin, with the scents, sights, and sounds of the fall season. It's more than just a festival—it’s a full weekend immersion into Wisconsin’s finest traditions, local craftsmanship, and, of course, exceptional wines.
Sip, Stroll, and Savor
The festival's famous Wine Garden is the focal point, where visitors may try a wide range of wines from local Wisconsin vineyards. Imagine wandering around Cedarburg's picturesque downtown, wine glass in hand, browsing kiosks stocked with artisanal goods and handcrafted treasures. With both red and white kinds available, there's something for everyone's taste, from crisp Rieslings to robust Cabernet Sauvignons. In addition to wine, craft beer enthusiasts can sample regional breweries, and non-alcoholic options such as handmade lemonades are also available.
Cedar Creek Winery is a must-visit for real wine connoisseurs. This local favorite provides wine tasting trips as well as unique festival offerings. Their iconic Cranberry Blush is a fan favorite, wonderfully capturing the tartness of cranberries with a hint of sweetness. Make sure you get a bottle (or two) to enjoy at home or as a unique gift.
Artisans and Crafts Galore
While the wine is the highlight of the event, the Cedarburg Wine and Harvest Festival is also known for its excellent lineup of over 250 vendors. These merchants sell everything from stunning artisan jewelry and pottery to seasonal home decor and cozy autumn clothing. You'll discover artisans selling homemade soaps, candles, and artwork, making it an excellent opportunity to buy gifts or treat yourself.
Entertainment for All Ages
The event provides entertainment for people of all ages. Families can discover a variety of activities to keep the children occupied. The Pumpkin Carving Contest encourages both youngsters and adults to create stunning pieces of pumpkin art. You'll be blown away by the complex and innovative artwork on show, making it an ideal photo opportunity.
The famous Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off is another show-stopping event. It’s a friendly competition where growers from around the region bring their massive pumpkins—some weighing over 1,000 pounds—to see whose pumpkin reigns supreme. It’s a sight to behold and a reminder of just how amazing nature can be.
A Culinary Delight
A festival isn't complete without delicious cuisine, and Cedarburg does not disappoint. From savory to sweet, the festival provides a diverse range of delectable foods. Do you want something warm and hearty? Try a traditional bratwurst or Wisconsin-style cheese curds. Those with a sweet tooth will be enticed by caramel apples, apple cider doughnuts, and pumpkin-flavored goodies everywhere.

The town's antique architecture, mixed with the autumnal decorations, creates a postcard-perfect atmosphere at every corner. Whether it's the colorful autumn leaves or the renowned Bridge Street, Cedarburg captures the essence of autumn well.
Do not pass up the hands-on activities if you like more interactive experiences. Visitors can make their own wine cork crafts, compete in a pie eating contest, or participate in the grape stomp. These enjoyable activities offer a novel opportunity to interact with the festival's wine-centric theme while also adding a whimsical element to the weekend's events.
