Things To Do

Come for the events and stay for everything else. Surrounding lakes, rivers and trails provide year-round opportunities to explore the outdoors while the invigorating downtown district features a big-city feel within a small-city setting.

Oshkosh has both historic and modern venues featuring engaging exhibits and an excellent performing arts scene. Year-round events range from gallery walks, dinner theaters and farmers markets to major music festivals and the largest airshow in the world.

Family-friendly fun fills the city every day of the week. Take a trip to the zoo, fly in an airplane, float on a paddlewheel riverboat or just indulge your sweet tooth with some frozen custard.

Enjoy shopping at unique boutiques in the downtown district and Oshkosh’s popular Outlet Shoppes, which are home to more than 40 brand-name stores.

Supper clubs, waterfront dining, breweries, wineries, chocolate shops and drive-ins give visitors the opportunity to satisfy any palate. If you are looking for a fun night out to accompany a great dinner, you’ll find live music almost every night of the week in downtown Oshkosh.
