What Types of Events Do We Offer?
Festivals
We host a variety of festivals each year, mainly in the spring, summer, and fall when the weather is nice in Wisconsin and people are ready to spend time outdoors! Some food festivals we’ve held in the past include Bacon Fest, Taco Fest, and Totally 80s.
Expos
Expos and other showcase-style events are a great way to easily plan for an upcoming life event or learn more about local businesses and services. Examples of our annual expos and showcases include our Home Expo, Lifestyle & Retirement Expo, Bridal Showcases in Racine, Kenosha, and Lake Geneva and much more!
Job Fairs
When you’re looking for a new job, Job and Career Fairs are a great way to talk with local employers face-to-face and stand out amongst the usual sea of applicants. We partner with local job agencies to increase our impact by offering resume services and other assistance to help job seekers get ahead.
Business / Seminars
Local Awards
We love taking the time to honor members of our communities through various awards like our Celebrate Nurses awards, and others! Our awards events provide an opportunity to highlight the great work that people throughout our communities have done.
