Paperfest presented by Community First Credit Union brings the fun to Sunset Park in Kimberly, WI from July 16-19, 2026. The 38th annual free-admission event will feature a food truck rally, carnival rides ($1 rides on Sunday), a hot air balloon glow, fireworks, and more. The festival will offer over 35 free live music acts across three stages including national headliners.
