Festival Information

The New Glarus Chamber released its 2016 Festival schedule in April. There are a few changes in this year’s festivals.
<strong>The New Glarus Chamber of Commerce will no longer be organizing the Community Garage Sales. They will still be happy to help promote it if another group wants to take it over. </strong>
