Looking for a fun and festive way to spend the Fourth of July with your family? Head to Old World Wisconsin for two full days of red, white, and blue fun during their annual Independence Day Weekend celebration!
A Patriotic Party in the Past
Old World Wisconsin’s Crossroads Village is the place to be this July 4th and 5th. Families are invited to step back in time and experience America’s birthday with a historic twist—filled with food, games, music, performances, and hands-on activities that bring the past to life.
Dress in your best patriotic gear and get ready to join the celebration!
Join the Parade
Why just watch a parade when you can be in one? Families are invited to walk through the village in a lively, patriotic children’s parade. Deck out your strollers, grab a flag, and wave with pride as you make your way through the charming streets of Old World Wisconsin.
Fun and Games for All Ages
From lawn games to live entertainment, there’s something for everyone. Catch toe-tapping live music, try your hand at classic yard games, and enjoy surprise performances throughout the day.
Independence Weekend Picnic
Need a snack between festivities? Stop by Caldwell Hall for a picnic-style meal filled with traditional favorites the whole family will love.
Classic Contests and Old-Fashioned Fun
Get into the competitive spirit with events like:
- Pie-Eating Contest – Nothing says “Fourth of July” like a good old-fashioned pie-eating contest. Dive in for a chance to win—or at least enjoy a delicious mess!
- Spelling Bee – Step into the schoolhouse and take part in a classic American spelling bee.
- Butter Churning – Ever made butter by hand? Now’s your chance! Join in on this hands-on experience and learn about early American kitchen traditions.
Meet the Mayor
No visit is complete without a meet-and-greet with the Mayor of Crossroads Village. Snap a photo, shake hands, and stick around for a live reading of the Declaration of Independence from the balcony of the Four Mile House—a memorable and meaningful moment for the whole family.
