Downtown La Crosse Calendar
The Cameron Park Farmers Market is a weekly community gathering place in La Crosse’s downtown. Throughout the season, locals and visitors to La Crosse come to support our local farmers and artisans, make healthy choices for their families, and to deepen their connection to the community around them. The combination of our weekly entertainment in the green-space setting of Cameron Park with our wide variety of quality local vendors, make Cameron Park Farmers Market a favorite activity, week after week.
Fridays 4-Dusk
Saturdays 8-1pm

Strive 2 Thrive Coulee Region has created a Bug Watch Coulee Region Facebook page for adults and children of the Coulee Region to get outside this fall and take one or more photos of the diversity of insects in the area. Participants will also have a chance to win a $50 gift certificate from Downtown Mainstreet donated by Strive 2 Thrive Coulee Region.

Each person with a Facebook account in the Coulee Region may upload as many photos as they like of insects in the Coulee Region (50-mile radius from La Crosse which includes southwest Wisconsin, southeast Minnesota, and northeast Iowa).
The photo(s) can be wherever you see a “bug.” A “bug” is defined as any invertebrate that lives on land, including spiders. Upload submissions to the Bug Watch Coulee Region Facebook page .

Artspire’s Canstruction® competition was postponed to 2021 due to COVID-19. Our mission for Canstruction® was two-fold: to create joyful art while helping to stock our local food pantries. We are continuing this mission with our Canstruction®-Lite competition.
This competition is open to individuals or small groups that can safely meet, including families, youth groups, class rooms, and businesses. Create your own food sculptures using canned and boxed foods, which are then donated to a local food pantry. The size, shape of the can, as well as the color of the can label all influence the design.
Get creative and have fun! Canstruction® projects develop skills in Art/Design, Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Brainstorming, Creativity, Construction, and Community Service.
Structures will be judged by a panel with awards for the following categories: Best Meal, Structural Ingenuity, Best Original Design, Most Cans, and Best Use of Labels.
All entries must be submitted online by October 26th.

SATURDAYS AT THE MAIN STREET PLAZA!
Every Saturday through October 10th!
10 am to 3 pm
The Saturday Art Market is starting this weekend, August 8th, 2020 on the Main Street Plaza from 10 am to 3 pm. This opening weekend of the Market will feature artists who were planning to exhibit at Artspire. It is intended to offer local artisans an opportunity to share and sell their art. This event is in partnership with Downtown Mainstreet, the La Crosse Arts Initiative, and the Pump House. Most fairs and markets have been cancelled due to the pandemic, so these community partners are creating an opportunity to support our local artisans by helping them sell their art in a safe, outdoor, and socially distant manner. The Main Street Plaza is home to the Herons of La Crosse, and that naturally creates a social distance by allowing artists to set up between each sculpture. Masks will be required for participation in the Arts Market, and hand sanitizer available at the entrance to the market. The Saturday Art Market will take place each Saturday through October 10, 2020 dependent upon weather conditions and recommendations by the La Crosse County Health Department.
Please join us here at the distillery in beautiful downtown La Crosse for a guided tour of our operation. You’ll learn about each step of our handcrafted spirits process; from the farmer’s field to our on-site mill to the mash tun to the fermenters to the still and then on to being blended, proofed and put into a bottle. Find out more about how geothermal energy is used at our facility to heat and cool the building as well as how geothermal energy is used in our distilling process.
