🎶 The first big announcement for Venetian Festival 2026 is here… and it’s all about the music.

We heard you loud and clear last year — you wanted more live music, more energy, and more reasons to come down early and stay late.

So for 2026… we’re bringing it.

This year we’re expanding our entertainment lineup with more bands taking the stage before our headliners, turning each night into a full evening of live music along the lakefront in downtown Lake Geneva.

And we’re not done yet… 👀

We’re also working on adding DJ sets on Wednesday and Friday nights to kick off the party before the main acts hit the stage.

More music.
More atmosphere.
More reasons to spend the night at Venetian Festival.

Take a look at the lineup and start planning your nights for August 19–23, 2026.

The Lake Geneva Jaycees are excited to announce our annual Easter Egg Hunt. Our event allows children (0-2, 3-5, 5-7, 8-10) a chance at awesome prizes, tons of candy, and lots of festive Easter spirit. The event is completely free -so we hope to see a ton of our 53147 neighbors in attendance! We'll bring the Easter Bunny and the fun, see you there!
