Join us for Goat Fest, the annual fundraiser hosted by the Friends of Goat Island (FOGI) in Jefferson, Wisconsin! Every summer, FOGI places goats on Goat Island, a lush retreat nestled in the middle of the Rock River. But on the first Saturday in August, the goats come ashore for one unforgettable day of fun at Rotary Park—and you’re invited!
Goat Fest is a FREE, family-friendly event packed with entertainment and activities for all ages, including:
Live music all day
A bustling Makers Market featuring over 30 local artisans and crafters
Delicious eats from local food trucks
A goat petting area for up-close animal encounters
Games and activities for kids
Raffles and Goat Fest merchandise
And the crowd favorite: goat races across the bridge!
Whether you're here for the goats, the tunes, the shopping, or just a great day out with family and friends, Goat Fest offers something for everyone—while supporting the care of the goats and preservation of Goat Island.
Mark your calendar and celebrate community, creativity, and a whole lot of goat-y goodness at Goat Fest!
