Fun times were had at this year's Strawberry Fest! We try our best to come each summer, and having…read moremissed it last year, we were excited to return. Make no mistake, this place is PACKED. Like jam packed. With tons of people yes, but also so many wonderful vendors, small businesses, pockets of live music, and more. The main strip has to span a mile long and there is plenty to enjoy along the way. We generally don't even try to park close, and instead a neighborhood or two away. There are paved sidewalks winding through so it's a nice walk. This year, there was a new addition to the fest that we were immensely appreciative of. The park adjacent the strip (aka all the main action) offered a full set up, that catered mostly to families and kids. Incredible and much needed! We came to the festival with a few other families, and while we would have loved to spend time shopping all the vendors like we used to, it's so tough to do that crowd with strollers and small humans would want to run around. So consider this a THANK YOU! The new park add-on was such a blast. They had a wonderful band playing on stage in the pavilion, plenty of food and drink trucks, face painting, a little train tractor kids can ride on, a bouncey house, a playground, so much grass space to run/picnic/park your strollers, and more! It was great to still feel part of the festival here. All of us - especially the kiddos - really enjoyed the day! Can't wait to return next year and support all of the great small businesses that make this festival happen.

Pricing for food is outrageous. We could actually go to a nice sit down restaurant for what vendors…read morewanted here. Could be why we saw so few people eating anything. Very disappointing.

You can wander at look at the lights and there's also occasional classic Chinese arts performances to enjoy. We didn't try any of the food but near the performance area there were several vendors offering a variety of food to purchase and dining tables where you can sit and enjoy (very much food court style vibe). One thing I will note: where we were directed to part required traversing very uneven ground. Not a problem for my husband and I but was glad my parents opted to stay home as I think they would have found it difficult. If that's the case for you as well, my suggestion would be to inquire about any sort of accessible parking. Beyond that, a wonderful time. We don't go every single year but when we do go, we so enjoy! Get to it!

There are quaint little stores along the main drag of downtown. The Chocolate Chisel is a must to get a sweet treat. The restaurants are fun - I love the Pasta Shoppe and Tello's. It is fun to venture out on the break wall and go out to the light house. There are many photo opportunities along the lake front. If you enjoy fishing, there are many charter fishing lines at the marina. You can also launch boats at the marina (there is a fee) and enjoy a day out on the lake. Port Washington is a great little place to escape for a summer afternoon adventure.

The historic back bar and tin ceiling were in beautiful condition and the whole facility was very clean.

I hit up this fest because of fondue. Let's be honest here, I've never said no to fondue…read more In this case, the Moraine Park Technical College culinary arts program was serving up cheese fondue with fresh artisan bread and chocolate fondue with strawberries and chocolate chip cookies. For $3 per order, folks! The cheese fondue was reminiscent of a nice beer cheese soup to me, and the chocolate fondue was dark and decadent. The fest itself was MUCH larger than I had expected. Block after block of pop up booths filled with local restaurants, bars, pet goods, churches, produce, jams and baked goods, vendors like Wildtree and Tastefully Simple, antique shops, custom made clothing, jewelry and more. I also saw a booth selling domestic beer for $2.50! I have the feeling I could have easily made myself miserable with good food and drink for under $15. Entry to the festival and street parking was free, and there were live bands as well. I didn't notice any of the booths taking credit cards, but one of the vendors did mention that she thought you could buy tokens with credit cards at the fest, and the tokens were accepted by vendors.

We took a short drive to Appleland, and oh what a great place! They have a little store that has Apple cider donuts, pies, jams, salsas, breads, wine, candles, soaps and so much more. We purchased a bag to go pick our own apples. My mother and I had so much fun walking around picking different kinds of apples. I have never seen Apple trees with so many apples on them!! The employees were so nice, great prices and amazing selection of items! I bought so many things to bring back home with me. I highly recommended stopping at Appleland, I know you will love it!!

Dan Jansen Family Fest occurs annually on Memorial Day weekend (Friday night, Saturday, and…read moreSunday). It's the official, unofficial beginning to festival season, I'm told. We drove by on Friday evening and noticed the lights, music, carnival rides, and overall merriment and decided to head back with the kiddo in tow later in the weekend. If you arrive between noon-4pm (Fri-Sat-Sun), you can enjoy their $20 unlimited ride wristband special, which is a pretty sweet deal. We, unfortunately, arrived on Sunday evening, so spent $25 on 30 ride tickets (which was plenty for our family to enjoy as many rides as we really cared to over the course of 2+ hours or so). They have your typical carnival rides (bumper cars, the zipper, etc) as well as typical carnival activities (fun house, house of mirrors) and games (darts, basketball, goldfish). They also have food vendors slinging typical fair-like food (corndogs, hot dogs, funnel cakes, ice cream, donuts). They also offer nightly entertainment. They have a different band playing each night as well as a family movie night on Saturday. The festival offers free entry, which is nice. I mean, obviously, you spend plenty on food and fun but it's nice to not have the extra entry fee on top of it all. The proceeds from the festival (100%) go to fund projects for the City of Greenfield Parks Department (in past years it's funded fountain projects, updated park signage, etc). Awesome perk to have a little fun while at the same time know the money spent is going to support local green spaces! Definitely a fun way to start the summer!

The prices can be pretty expensive but it is totally worth it with what you get out of it. You can bring kids with you as well because they have kids rides. The food is great and a little pricey but once again, totally worth it. The only thing that isn't the best feature is that if you leave past 9, you cannot re-enter which I hope that changes in the upcoming years.
