Welcome to the world of Warrens Cranberry Festival, the world's largest cranberry festival! Located in the village of Warrens, Wisconsin, population 360, the fest attracts more than 100,000 visitors annually during the last full weekend in September. So what brings everyone to this tiny town?
For starters, Cranfest boasts some of the best shopping around. The festival hosts 850 arts & craft booths and 350 flea market & antique booths. That's over 3 miles of shopping! Shoppers can fuel up for their festival trek at one of the 100 food vendors serving all the tasty treats imaginable, including cranberry cream puffs, deep fried cranberries, cheesecake on a stick, traditional festival fare and a variety of ethnic foods.
But there's more to Cranberry Festival than just shopping. Visitors compete for prizes in a number of contests, including vegetable & sunflower, pictorial cancellation, scarecrow, photography, needlwork & quilting and the famous cranberry recipe contest.
Cranfest is capped off on its final day by a gigantic parade. This parade is one of the largest marching band parades in Wisconsin and features a number of attractions, including visiting royalty floats, antique cars and much more.
