Worth a Visit
Love fun, quirky, and original events? Here are a few that call
the Stevens Point Area home, that you won’t want to miss!
Learn more about the culture of the Stevens
Point Area through immersive events hosted
in the region. Plan to attend the popular
AIRO Pow-wow, Fiesta Point, Juneteenth,
Portage County Cultural Festival, Stevens
Point Pride and more.
Looking for an adventure? Check out
PaddleQuest, a paddling-based adventure
event that provides new challenges around
every corner. Geared to all skill levels and
ages, the event blends canoeing and Comic-
Con, with a side of conservation.
Potatoes grown in the region (known as the
golden sands) are not just your ordinary spud.
No matter the variety, at the annual Almond
Tater Toot, held in July, potatoes are the
honored guest of the celebration parade.
Get your motor running to attend the
Midwest’s Largest Car Show, the Iola Car
Show hosted in July. For more equipment,

antique machinery.
In the fall, get in the spirit of the season with
Stevens Point Brewery’s Pointoberfest,

before the festivities begin, the event is
kicked off with the Blubber Run, a fun run
that starts at the brewery.
Travel along the nooks and crannies of the
Ice Age Trail as it weaves its way through
central Wisconsin for the Hidden Studios
Art Tour. The event features working artists’
studios that open their doors for the public
each fall.

the history museum known as Heritage Park,
one of four historical sites in the region.
