WINTER GREETINGS!

Winter and spring are exciting seasons for West Bend. Our community is once again hosting an impressive list of events and programs for you to enjoy with family and friends. Early winter events include Enchantment in the Park and the 5K Reindeer Run in Regner Park. January 17-19 is our Winter Warm-Up, which includes the Hugh Jass fat tire bike race and Lac Lawrann Luminary Walk, both happening on January 18. The official end to winter in West Bend is March 1, when we celebrate Bockfest in Regner Park.

Our Recreation division is offering a wide variety of youth and adult programs. Programs include learn to swim, judo, youth gymnastics, ballroom dance, spring soccer, baseball, and archery. Nature based offerings at Lac Lawrann Conservancy include Winter Fun Days, Snowshoe Fridays, snowshoe group field trips, and hiking trips and tours. Get signed up early, before classes begin to fill up.

Non-residents pay their fair share through an additional surcharge established by the Park & Recreation Commission.
