BIG BULL FALLS BLUES FEST

2021 Event Upate

We are cautiously moving forward with Big Bull in 2021. Tickets will again become available once we have a better idea as to the number of tickets we can reasonably begin to sell. This should be in April. 

 All purchased tickets from 2020 will be rolled over to the 2021 festival. 

Our goal at Wausau Events has always been to deliver the best possible event experiences for our fans and sponsors. Know that we are more driven than ever to deliver on this mission.
