August 2025

August means summer fun continues at Bristol Renaissance Faire and at annual events such as HarborPark Jazz, Rhythm & Blues Festival, Jerry Smith Farm Sweet Corn Fest, Kenosha County Fair, and LakeFest. Many free outdoor concert series continue. Thompson Farm will have their sunflower and raspberry seasons opening during the month. Take time to enjoy the last full month of summer in Kenosha!

IT'S FAIR TIME

The Kenosha County Fair is August 13-17. A Children’s Parade, an Antique Tractor Parade, a parade that goes through the fairgrounds, and fireworks are on the schedule. Enjoy concerts, car races, exhibits, truck & tractor pulls, demolition derbies, and much more.

LABOR DAY WEEKEND

We have an itinerary full of 25 things for you to do Labor Day weekend in the Kenosha Area! The list includes shopping at two outdoor markets, viewing classic cars at the Kenosha Classic Cruise-In, climbing a lighthouse, and enjoying an Aquanut water ski show.

AL FRESCO DINING

Pick your setting: sidewalk, patio, deck, park, backyard, or rooftop. Some offer a view like Lake Michigan or Downtown Kenosha, while others come with activities like live music. We’re talking about locally owned restaurants and beer gardens with outdoor seating!
