What is the New Glarus Family Fest?

New Glarus Family Fest was started 15 years ago, in 2007, as a free festival to give back to the community. We want anyone and everyone to come and enjoy music and entertainment, friendship, food, and fun together. Be sure to check out the family day page for more details.

Over the years our Family Fest has grown and we are always thrilled to host such an event in New Glarus! Our whole church and neighboring churches come together to provide a day of fun for the whole family. We invite you and your family to visit on Sunday, September 11, 2022 from 11:30-3:30pm.

Testimonials

A big thank you needs to go out to the go out to the Grace Community Fellowship Church in New Glarus for their most recent, veery successful Family Fest this past Sunday. What a pleasurable event your congregation has pulled together once again. The car show was great as was the band, The Corvettes. They brought back a lot of memories. After attending the Family Fest again this year, it is very evident that your church fully understand the true concept of community, a word that is so easily tossed about by so many without ever understanding the real meaning of ‘community.'”

– Kim Tschudy, New Glarus

New Glarus Family Fest was wonderful! OMG  – And it was all FREE! A HUGE blossom for Grace Church of New Glarus for putting on New Glarus Family Fest. It was a wonderful FAMILY event. There were child activities, youth activities, entertainment, a tent for shade, fellowship and rest for us old folks, a car show, food, music, and much more. All FREE! Now, that’s what I call ministry. I, and hopefully many others, will support their efforts.”

On arrival at the Family Festival, we were both impressed as to the setup of the park facilities and also the volume of families enjoying the festivities. We met a lot of people and enjoyed mingling throughout the day. We would like to thank everyone for the friendship that was extended to us on that occasion.”

Dear Family Fest, thank you so much for your generosity and thoughtfulness in inviting your neighbors (and we are all neighbors) to share good times at last weekend’s Festival. My daughter and I attended with several friends and had a marvelous time. You all did a great job pulling together to make it happen.”
