Festival Friday
We don’t call ourselves the ‘Party in the Northwoods’ for no reason… Kicking back at Cheqtoberfest on Friday might be the best part of race weekend!
Attractions
Live Music
Performed by Timmy Haus
Friday | 1:00pm – 4:00pm
The festival atmosphere we all know and love wouldn’t be the same without the sweet tunes provided by Timmy Haus! His music draws influence from a wide variety of genres, creating an ambiance that everyone can enjoy as you peruse the festival.
Cold Beer
Provided by Fulton
All Weekend Long
This party wouldn’t be complete without refreshments! Celebrate Chequamegon weekend with cold, refreshing Fulton Beer. The best part? Every beer you drink goes towards a great cause. Our good friends over at CAMBA Trails will be staffing the beer tent, and the proceeds go towards maintaining their incredible network of trails.
Food Trucks
variety of Options
All Weekend Long
Enjoy hot food right here at the festival, all weekend long. We’ll have a smattering of food trucks right out in front of the great hall, with options that everyone will enjoy:
T-Rex Inferno | Honey Badger Burgers | Big T’s Rollin Smoke BBQ
Mr Goodies (gyros, cheesesteaks, etc) | Cable Lions Club (brats)
Pretzel Necklaces
A stylish Snack
All Weekend Long
In true Oktoberfest fashion, we’re bringing traditional pretzel necklaces to Chequamegon. This tasty snack is conveniently located right around your neck, making it easy to eat on the go while you wander the festival. Enjoy with a cold beer for the ultimate Cheqtoberfest experience.
