Our Story
For Nekoosa was founded by a group of community members with one goal in mind – to preserve and continue the beloved traditions of Nekoosa, WI. Our journey began with the Nekoosa Hometown Christmas Riverside Lights and Santa Visits, which sparked the idea to create a nonprofit organization dedicated to organizing and managing these events.
It all started with a desire to keep Nekoosa’s spirit of community alive. We are a group "for the people, by the people," working to ensure that everyone in our community has the opportunity to participate in fun, family-friendly activities.
Since our founding, For Nekoosa has taken on the responsibility of managing a variety of beloved community events, including:
-
The Nekoosa Hometown Riverside Lights & Santa Visits
-
Nekoosa Walleye Days
-
Nekoosa Easter Egg Hunt & 5K Run
-
Midwest Fest – A Summer Civic Picnic
These events are made possible through the generous support of local businesses, sponsors, volunteers, and the incredible people of Nekoosa. We are honored to be part of this wonderful community and look forward to continuing to serve Nekoosa for many years to come.
