SUMMER KICKOFF WEEKEND

Summer Kickoff Weekend

COVID-19 Update

Due to COVID-19, It is with heavy heart that Wausau Events has decided to cancel our Summer Kickoff Weekend Event for 2020. Don't worry, this event will be back in 2021! We have taken in all information and advice regarding this unique situation, and have come to the conclusion that this is in the best interest of the Wausau Community.
