Hayward's largest summer celebration of the Northwoods and great fishing history, the Festival takes place the weekend following Father's Day weekend each year in downtown Hayward. The weekend includes the crowning of our Musky Festival Queen, sidewalk sales, large handmade art & craft show, live music, children's games, great food booths, Musky Run, fishing contest and a carnival. Everyone will enjoy Midwest known music groups during Friday and Saturday night street dances while enjoying the Lions and Rotary beer tents. The whole weekend concludes with a large Parade on Sunday.
