Help support the community we all call home!
Fond du Lac Festivals was founded in 1981 to support the growth and sustainability of a source of pride for many and one of our region’s first major festivals – Walleye Weekend. Since the beginning, we’ve worked with many area non-profit organizations to strengthen our community through events just like Walleye Weekend. At these events, we offer fundraising opportunities in exchange for volunteer support and other forms of partnership.
We are a 501-c3 organization dedicated to creating and hosting family-friendly, inclusive festivals and special events that showcase our community and give back to other area nonprofits. In 2025, our organization helped us raise over $281,000 for 41 nonprofits in the Fond du Lac community through collaboration at our events.
Our events are offered free of charge and are designed to be accessible for ALL community members. This would not be possible without every single person who helps contribute in any way, shape, of form to our events and our community. Thank you to everyone who makes our events possible year after year!
