Wisconsin Arts & Peony Festival

Experience the fusion of arts and nature at this annual festival held every June. Explore Ovans Peony Farm, the largest stem-cut peony farm in the state. Venture to downtown Beaver Dam and enjoy a highly curated art market with live music and food trucks. Engage in community activities like art and sewing classes and exhibits, a storytelling festival, a lawn party, a paint-a-tile community mural, and witness the beautification of the downtown with chalk artists and a volunteer-driven yarn bombing event. Participate in the Brunch & Blossoms Stroll and visit the “Harmonious Threads: The Leckrone-Levenhagen Jacket Showcase” exhibit, featuring former University of Wisconsin band director Mike Leckrone’s signature concert jackets and the intricate craftsmanship of Beaver Dam native Lois Levenhagen. Don’t miss a special guest appearance from Mike and Lois and an exciting performance from the UW Marching Band.
