Brats + Music + Charity + Wisconsin = AWESOME!
We’re not scientists, but we’re fairly certain that the World’s Largest Brat Fest can be perfectly expressed using the equation above. Brat Fest is 4 days filled with music, food and fun in the heart of downtown Madison, Wisconsin.
So, what is Brat Fest? Obviously, it’s about eating brats and enjoying good food at great prices while celebrating Wisconsin’s heritage and the people who make Madison a great place to live, but more importantly, it’s about giving back to the community. The World’s Largest Brat Fest is held every Memorial Day weekend – rain or shine – with proceeds benefiting the local charities that help to staff the event.
