Get ready for an unforgettable experience at Laura Days 2025 with our Very Special Guest, Alison Arngrim! Alison is the actress who portrayed Nellie Oleson on the Little House in the Prairie TV Series. She has several appearances planned throughout the weekend, which you will find on the Schedule of Events page. And Pa’s Fiddle Contest is back to help us relive the magic of the music that shaped Laura’s era.

Our festival will also showcase the much-loved traditions, friendly faces, and the sense of community you’ve come to expect from us. Don’t miss out on the fun with kid-friendly games and crafts, engaging family entertainment, and mouthwatering vittles. Join us in Pepin on September 13 and 14, 2025, as we celebrate the remarkable life and literary legacy of Laura Ingalls Wilder.
