The vibrant atmosphere, filled with laughter and joy, encapsulates the essence of community.

Our Mission

The mission of the Wisconsin State Cow Chip Festival is to bring the Sauk Prairie community together in fun and fellowship through an annual festival and amateur sporting event that celebrate local tradition, strengthen community bonds, and raise funds for area nonprofit organizations.

Our mission extends beyond just hosting a successful event; it is about creating an inclusive space where everyone feels welcome. We believe that through shared experiences, we can break down barriers and build lifelong friendships. The festival is a showcase of local talent, craft, and culture, where every attendee can find something to connect with. From the spirited Cow Chip Throw competitions to lively music performances, there is something for everyone. We invite you to join us in celebrating not just the festival, but the strong bonds that tie our community together.
