Road Trip

Watertown is often overlooked among easy-to-access day trip destinations, but it's well worth exploring. Even better, check it out during Watertown Riverfest, in which the town's Riverside Park is filled with food, music and a good old-fashioned carnival. Music headliners include Steely Dane on Thursday, Them Coulee Boys on Friday, and Bruce in the USA, a Springsteen tribute band, on Saturday (all at 8:40 p.m.). Music closes out Sunday afternoon with Road Trip (4:45 p.m.). Find the schedule below, and updates at watertownriverfest.com.
