📣 ONE WEEK AWAY 📣

Will you be joining us this year for the 35th anniversary of our fan favorite MUSKY FEST?!

🫎 We kick off on Friday, September 11, with neighbor Ellen and her rockin’ group, Ellen Miller, holding down the street with jazzy blues riffs and raucous rock & roll vibes 🫎

🫎 Saturday is full of more live music, including DJ sets on either end of Racine (Draii BLAC camdontgram KH J. Kryshak) and energetic bands on the Nelson stage (The Shades, Fueled By Emo - Emo + Pop Punk Cover Band Sonic Motel, & Talk of the Town). And of course, we end the night with the annual crowning of this year’s Musky Queen 🫎

🫎 Sunday rounds out the weekend with the kiddo-favorite Wiggleworms and very day drinking niche Wild Scallions and Alpine Thunder Band. And it would be a Will’s Northwoods Inn event without a little Green Bay Packers game day action 🫎

Have a safe and healthy LDW, y’all and we will see ya next weekend for the 35th annual !

Meet Mairi Maíri⚡️🎱🤘🏼, a Musky Queen candidate who will be guest bartending at 9 pm tonight! 

WHAT MAKES YOU THE PERFECT MUSKY QUEEN AND/OR WHAT WILL YOUR FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS AS MUSKY QUEEN BE? 
I have no known allergies, would die for Bucky Badger, and can out-drink your father. I’m an open book and there would be no political scandals whilst I sat on the throne. As Musky Queen, I’d instate some BWL deals and install a dart board in the upstairs room. 

DEFINE YOUR WISCONSIN PERSONALITY AND/OR YOUR CONNECTION TO WILL’S. 
If there is a God, it’d be the creator of Spotted Cow. My first night in Chicago I went to Will’s for a caesar wrap and a Miller Lite and never looked back! There’s simply no better place for a gameday.

WHAT’S YOUR WALK-UP SONG WHEN YOU WIN THAT MUSKY QUEEN CROWN? 
“I’m On a Boat” by The Lonely Island

Who will take the crown? Find out on September 12!
