The New Glarus Chamber recently released its 2016 Festival schedule. There are a few changes in this year’s festivals.

Music Fest, formerly on Memorial Day Weekend, has moved to Heidi Fest Weekend at the end of June. This means there will not be a Taste of New Glarus. The Chamber requests that any business interested in being involved with Music Fest Weekend please contact Keith Peterson at his email keith@thinkpurpledoor.com.

The New Glarus Chamber of Commerce will no longer be organizing the Community Garage Sales. They will still be happy to help promote it if another group wants to take it over. 

Remember the New Glarus Chamber of Commerce website swisstown.com has the best up to date information on festivals that you will find!
