Dipperfest 2

Welcome to the 2nd annual Dipperfest, located in the scenic Northwoods of Wisconsin. Over the years The Big Dipper has established itself as a premier purveyor of live music in the area, which was reinforced by the implementation of our very first music fest in May of 2025. The vibes were so good and the feedback was so positive, that we've decided to go for round 2! 
Dipperfest 2 will take place on May 23rd and 24th, 2026. Over the course of 2 days, you will have the opportunity to see nearly 20 different acts from all over the country. Some have performed at the Big Dipper and some haven't. In addition to the music, there will be food and drink available on-site, as well camping (rustic..tent & SMALL campers only). There will truly be something for everyone! And here are the acts:
