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 were held on June 10, July 15 (Pearl St), August 19 (Leicht Park – our first ever Green Bay Balloon Glow!), and September 16 (300 Hubbard St) in different areas along the Fox river. These free, open-air markets offered a wide variety of experiences for people of all backgrounds and ages. The igNight Markets featured 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. We hope to bring back this wonderful series of night markets back to Green Bay in 2018!

Bike to the Beat

On August 5th, 2017, over 3,200 bicyclists (of all skill levels) pedaled 10, 20, 36, or 50 miles throughout the Fox Valley. They were treated to complimentary food, drink, and of course, live music along their journey. We could not have asked for a more beautiful day on our bike ride (it’s not a race!).$25,000 in proceeds were donated to myTeam Triumph – Wisconsin Chapter, Refuge Foundation for the Arts, and Winnebagoland BMX. Stay tuned for Track 3, next year!

Lakeshore Balloon Glow

On Friday, August 18th, 2017, thousands of spectators were entertained with a Hot Air Balloon extravaganza at the Riverfront in downtown Manitowoc. The balloons were be tethered down, with the crews inflating their colorful balloons with the flame-throwing burners, lighting them up from the inside. With the river as a backdrop, the balloons looked spectacular. This is a fun, family event which creates wonderful memories for all. We hope to see you next year!

Kites Over Lake Michigan

Held on Labor Day Weekend (Sept 2 & 3 of 2017), 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. Thousands came to 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 was a Fireworks Show on Saturday night after the release of Sky Lanterns on the beach. On Sunday, there was free kite making for kids and another day of kite flying and performances.
