It's actually New Glarus' 176th, but last year's festivities had to be postponed. New Glarus is perhaps the most ethnically distinct of southern Wisconsin small towns, with its Swiss heritage evident from its architecture, restaurant cuisine, polka bands and yearly Wilhelm Tell enactment. Friday the community picnic and Volksfest at Village Park will include a chicken barbecue, fireworks, live music, and more (4:30-8 p.m.). Saturday, there's a parade (10:30 a.m.) and Sunday it's a carnival from noon to midnight. culminating with a pork fry (4:30-7 p.m.) and music from Kings of Radio from 8 p.m.-midnight.
