🍂 Celebrate Fall in the Northwoods!
Join us in downtown Hayward for the beloved Hayward Fall Festival—a one-day celebration of the changing seasons and vibrant community spirit. Stroll through fine art and craft booths, snag deals at lively sidewalk sales, enjoy delicious eats, and groove to live music filling the streets. With kid-friendly activities and festive fun for all ages, it’s no wonder thousands of visitors return each year to be part of this cherished local tradition!

Volunteer

We’re gearing up for one of Hayward’s coziest traditions—and we’d love your help to make it shine!

We’re looking for volunteers to:

  • Grill up mouthwatering brats 🌭
  • Help set up and clean up the festival grounds 🛠️
  • Serve smiles in the beloved Beer & Brat Tent 🍺

Your time and energy create the welcoming spirit that makes our festival truly special. Whether you have an hour or an afternoon, there’s a place for you in the fun.

Interested in jumping in? We’d be grateful to have you on board!
