FAQs

Why are weekdays a better time to visit Brown County than weekends?

So many reasons! Our weekends always book up quickly, but you’ll find more lodging availability during the week. That means more places to stay and more amenities to choose from. (Maybe you can stay in that cabin you’ve had your eye on for a while that always seems to be booked!) Many of our lodging partners also offer specials during the week, so you’ll get better rates and save money. And because fewer people visit during the week, you’ll avoid the busy weekend crowds everywhere you go—shops, restaurants, outdoor activities, entertainment, and more.

Are there any weekday events in Brown County?

Yes, we have events all throughout the week in Brown County! See what’s happening this week or check our full Event Calendar for the complete list of events and festivals.
