Join us for Goat Fest, the annual fundraiser hosted by the Friends of Goat Island (FOGI) in Jefferson, Wisconsin! Every summer, FOGI places goats on Goat Island, a lush retreat nestled in the middle of the Rock River. But on the first Saturday in August, the goats come ashore for one unforgettable day of fun at Rotary Park-and you're invited!

Goat Fest is a FREE, family-friendly event packed with entertainment and activities for all ages, including:
- Live music all day
- A bustling Makers Market featuring over 30 local artisans and crafters
- Delicious eats from local food trucks
- A goat petting area for up-close animal encounters
- Games and activities for kids
- Raffles and Goat Fest merchandise
- And the crowd favorite: goat races across the bridge!

Whether you're here for the goats, the tunes, the shopping, or just a great day out with family and friends, Goat Fest offers something for everyone-while supporting the care of the goats and preservation of Goat Island.

Mark your calendar and celebrate community, creativity, and a whole lot of goat-y goodness at Goat Fest!
