Shop until you drop at both of our LakeFest locations—our lineup of vendors is here so you can plan your day and visit your faves ⭐️ Check out handcrafted art and jewelry, delicious food and drinks, and more great products while enjoying the festivities.

If you’re a food truck lover, and are interested in having a wider selection of vendors to choose from, you won’t want to miss the LakeFest @ Celebration Place in HarborPark marketplace with many vendors set up around the venue for your shopping convenience 🛍️

If you come down to LakeFest @ The Kenosha Beach House, vendors include delicious fair snack stand Marvelous Snax , Ollie Sips Lemonade, Luna Lux Collection and AK Resin Art. We hope you consider checking out the Kenosha Beach House’s food, drink and gift shop selection during the event as well.

We are still taking last-minute applications for vendors! If you have a food truck or vendor booth, we would love for you to come out to LakeFest this weekend. Apply here: https://forms.gle/zU4aRpUbpUndpGuG6

A little LakeFest prep took us to the Kenosha Sportfishing & Conservation Association’s Salmon Rearing Pond! 🐟

We met up with Jim and Dan from KSFCA to learn more about the 40,000 fingerling salmon they’re raising, their annual Pike River Cleanup, and their “Fish ’n’ Fun” fishing clinic that introduces urban children to fishing at Anderson Park.

KSFCA has always supported us, and we’re proud to support them right back. We share a commitment to water conservation and safety as fellow members of the Safety Around Water Coalition, making them a great partner for LakeFest! 🌊

You’ll find KSFCA at LakeFest on August 22nd, so stop by and learn more about the important work they’re doing in our community.
Learn more about KSFCA at kenoshasportfishing.com and get all the LakeFest details at kenoshabeachhouse.com/lakefest.

Huge shoutout to CJW for providing signage, menus & trailers to keep the beer cold at LakeFest! 🍻 We’re so grateful to Jamie and her team for taking care of us.

And thank you to Desiree & the Waterfront Warehouse team for being such strong community supporters—and guest bartenders in our beer tent! Be sure to give them some love at Celebration Place on Saturday August 22nd! ❤️

Eat & drink at places that give back! Our profits are primarily generated from beer and water sales, so come thirsty! 🍺

✨ One of the most magical moments of LakeFest is watching the beautifully illuminated boats glide through the harbor after sunset. Our parade is growing bigger every year and you won’t want to miss. This year’s parade starts at 8:15PM on Saturday, August 22nd.

While you can catch the parade from the shoreline at The Kenosha Beach House, one of the best views will be at Celebration Place in HarborPark, where you’ll enjoy an unobstructed waterfront view surrounded by live music, food, drinks, and the excitement of LakeFest. 🌅🚤✨

As an added bonus, the Kemper Center is celebrating their 50th Anniversary and will have fireworks at 9pm which will be visible from both the Beach House and Celebration Place. 🎆
