Hodag Country Festival

PRESS RELEASE: In the best interest of our Northwoods community and dedicated Hodagers, we have made the decision to postpone the 43rd Hodag Country Festival until July 8-11, 2021. Although our entertainers, vendors, and many fest-goers were still hoping to participate in this year's festival, we feel the safety of our community is more important.

We'd like to thank all of the supporters, sponsors, businesses, non-profit organizations, volunteers, workers and individuals who've stepped up to offer help during this unprecedented time.

The possibility of having the Hodag Country Festival has created stress and division in the Rhinelander area, and we are sincerely apologetic for this. It was never our intent. The festival has always been about community. We have been here for 43 years and have always supported the Northwoods area. Hodag hopes we can continue to have your support in the future.
