Ten years ago the members of Grace Church of New Glarus determined that they wanted to do something special for the people of New Glarus and the area communities. The outcome was a festival planned especially to provide an afternoon of enjoyment for every age and each family member. The most unusual factor about the New Glarus Family Festival would be that EVERYTHING WOULD BE FREE and no offerings received at the festival! The cost for the festival has risen in recent years to about $40,000, which the members of Grace Church have enthusiastically donated to make it possible.
