Brat Fest Sheboygan

Just an hour away from Sheboygan lies Madison, the capital of Wisconsin and home to the World's Largest Brat Fest! This bi-annual fundraiser takes place each year on Memorial Day, benefiting local community and non-profit organizations. Brats are the pride and joy of Wisconsin, which is why they've dedicated an entire festival to celebrating them!

The planners of Brat Fest have teamed up with the Mad City Marathon to stage a festival for the whole community to enjoy. The finish line of the marathon is now located on Willow Island, where Brat Fest takes place. Between cheering on runners and chowing down on brats covered with spicy mustard and sauerkraut, festival attendees can also enjoy live musical entertainment and several rides and attractions for all ages.

Last year's Brat Fest broke records with the numbers of brats consumed. Here are a few figures to show just how many were eaten:

• Brats Consumed Over Four Days: 189,432
