Fox In Your Community

From supporting local non-profits and initiatives, to ensuring that families have fun, affordable events to attend. We strive to keep Northeastern Wisconsin the amazing, fun place it is.

igNight Markets – Green Bay

These markets will be held on June 10, July 15 (Pearl St), August 19 (Leicht Park – check out our first ever Green Bay Balloon Glow!), and September 16 (Under the Mason St. overpass) in different areas along the Fox river. It is a free, open-air market that offers a wide variety of experiences for people of all backgrounds and ages. The igNight Markets feature a mash up of art, craft and food vendors, live art creation, local music and a beer garden with a goal to create a free, vibrant, safe and interactive place in Green Bay for people to experience culture at night.

Bike to the Beat

Join us on August 5th for a bike ride for all ages and abilities! Choose from four distances: 10, 20, 36, or 50 miles. If you feel like going a little further or maybe not quite as far, we can roll with that! Just be sure to be back at the start/finish line for the post-ride party, which ends at 2 PM. The finishers’ party includes complimentary food, drink, and of course, live music! What makes Bike to the Beat so unique? Besides enjoying a leisurely-paced Saturday morning summertime bike ride, riders will also enjoy various stops along the course that feature live music from original artists, as well as a variety of delicious food from local businesses.

Last year, we raised $25,000 for myTeam Triumph, a local charity which builds inclusion opportunities for people with diverse abilities through a teamwork approach and community focus in endurance events. For 2017, Bike to the Beat: Track 2 will benefit myTeam Triumph, and Refuge Foundation for the Arts.

Lakeshore Balloon Glow

On Friday, August 18th, prepare to be entertained with a Hot Air Balloon extravaganza at the Riverfront in downtown Manitowoc. The Balloons will be tethered down, and the crews will inflate their colorful balloons, with the flame-throwing burners lighting them up from the inside. With the river as a backdrop, the balloons look spectacular. This is a fun, family event which will create wonderful memories for all.

Kites Over Lake Michigan

Held on Labor Day Weekend (Sept 2 & 3), at the beautiful Neshotah Beach, Two Rivers. This is now one of the largest kite festivals in the Midwest and attracts kitefliers from all over. Come and marvel at the giant show kites, precision stunt kite teams flying dual- and quad-line kites, along with spectacular and colorful ground displays. Once again there will be the Fireworks Show on Saturday night after the release of Sky Lanterns on the beach. Watch for a record breaking number of Sky Lanterns being released this year. On Sunday, there will be free kite making for kids and another day of kite flying and performances.
