We're still riding the high from this year's Harry Whitehorse International Wood Sculpture Festival. From the sculptors to the crowds to the community that showed up all week, we were reminded why this event matters so much.

Now we need one final push: we're just about $1,000 away from unlocking a $5,000 matching donation. Help us finish this incredible year strong by donating: https://brnw.ch/21x40jt

The opening ceremony last Friday set the tone for nine days of tradition, artistry, and global connection at the Harry Whitehorse International Wood Sculpture Festival. Artists were introduced, members of the Ho-Chunk Nation were honored, and the festival officially came to life at San Damiano Park.

Since then, sculptors have been working on site daily, alongside cultural demonstrations, music, food, and community programming that continues to evolve throughout the week.

The festival is open every day through June 27 at San Damiano Park in Monona, and there is still plenty of time to visit, watch the artists in action, and explore the grounds.

A big thank you to Madison Cusco Sister City Alliance & Mundo Esperanza for supporting this year’s Harry Whitehorse International Wood Sculpture Festival!

We’re especially excited to highlight their involvement in bringing the Pachamanca experience to the festival, a traditional Peruvian community feast that celebrates food, culture and connection.

Through their partnership with the Madison–Cuzco Sister City Alliance, this activation helps deepen cultural exchange and brings an incredible global tradition to Madison.

We’re grateful for their support in helping make moments like this possible during festival weekend.
