5 Fun Things to Do with Kids at Prescott Daze 2025

If you’re planning a family getaway to Western Wisconsin this fall, here are 5 must-do activities with kids during Prescott Daze, September 4–7, 2025:

1. Catch the Parade (Sunday at 2 PM)

Nothing says small-town charm like a big parade! Grab a seat along Cherry Street and wave to the colorful floats, marching bands, and local characters tossing candy. Kids love the energy, noise, and excitement—and parents will love the wholesome vibe.

2. Check Out the Kids’ Zone at Lions Park (Saturday, 10 AM–2 PM)

Let the little ones run wild with games, inflatables, and kids’ activities hosted in Lions Club Park. There are food trucks nearby, so you can grab lunch while the kids bounce, play, and burn off energy.

3. Watch (or Join!) the Zumba Demo (Saturday at 11 AM)

Yes, really! This high-energy dance demo downtown is super interactive and open to anyone. It’s fun to watch—but even more fun to join. Bonus: kids love seeing their parents get silly.

4. Fuel Up with Cheese Curds, Shaved Ice & More

Nothing beats fair food! Don’t miss the Prescott Daze Cheese Curd Booth on Main Street starting at 10 AM Saturday, plus other treats like snow cones, mini donuts, and food trucks galore. This is snack heaven for picky eaters.

5. Start the Day with the Fishing Contest (Saturday, 6 AM–Noon)

If you’ve got early risers, head to the Prescott Daze Fishing Contest for a family-friendly way to kick off Saturday. Sponsored by the Sportsman’s Club, it includes breakfast and prizes—and it’s a memory-maker for kids learning to fish.
