Come on down and enjoy free entertainment all afternoon long. Remember the library will be closed and the parking lot will not be accessible.

Rally for the Valley is almost here, and we want to make sure everyone knows what to expect before heading downtown.

A few quick reminders for the event area: no alcohol carry-ins, no glass containers, no pets, and no coolers.
Bikes and e-bikes are welcome, but they must be walked through the event area. Designated bike parking will be available.

Rally for the Valley takes place Saturday, October 3, from 2:00 to 10:00 PM in Downtown Menasha. The event is free and family-friendly.

We look forward to seeing everyone downtown for a day of music, community, and support for those still recovering from the July 27 tornado.

Rally for the Valley is a free, community-led event bringing the Fox Cities together through music, comedy, storytelling, and giving.

Some books teach you.
