Every September, thousands of people flock to Warrens for the town’s annual Cranberry Festival. But not just any cranberry festival. We’re talking about the world’s largest cranberry festival.

A free-to-attend event, it’s always the last full weekend in September. This year, it’s September 27-29, 2019 (7 a.m. – 9 p.m. daily).

The festival has come a long way since it began in 1973 with just 75 vendor booths. Now an international event, it attracts more than 130,000 visitors each year.

It’s not just the number of attendees that has increased over the years. The event itself has grown to include more than 1,300 vendor booths!

Look around, and you’ll find arts, crafts, and antiques, as well as flea market and farmers market items.

Nearly as plentiful as the merchandise is the food. There are 80 food booths, which sell everything from classic fair fare to a variety of cranberry items.

The fun doesn’t end there, though. There’s plenty to keep attendees entertained, including the largest band parade in Wisconsin.

Other activities include marsh tours, a recipe contest, biggest berry contest, quilt block contest, and more.

In addition to shopping, food, and fun, the festival includes….cranberries, of course. Spend your time indulging on cranberry treats, taking part in cranberry-related activities, and more.
