Waunakee Artisan Market - Heading back for it's 5th year, this completely artist run and community focused market held at Schumacher Farm Park gives local artisans a chance to show and sell their work for a minimal fee, and provides opportunities and scholarships to local students. Each year features music, food, drinks and over 40 selling artists, including many students and local artisans who have never attended shows before.
Art on Main – This is a yearly Public Art Project which is headed into it's 9th year. Each year, 10 participants are given a steel cut-out to create a weather-proof piece of art which can be displayed along Main Street for the summer. These pieces are then auctioned off in the fall to raise money for the Endres Mfg. Foundation and Create Waunakee.
