Behind the scenes at Brat Fest

Teams of volunteers have been hard at work all week with setup and last-minute preparations for the World’s Largest Brat Fest. Since 1983, the event has sold more than 3.8 million brats to help raise almost $1.75 million to benefit 100+ local charities. Brat Fest brings the community together each Memorial Day weekend — rain or shine — for four days of music, food, and family-friendly fun to help kick off the start of summer at Willow Island at the Alliant Energy Center.
