Get ready for another unforgettable summer weekend in Park Falls Wisconsin as 72nd Annual Flambeau-Rama 2025 kicks off with a mix of beloved traditions and exciting new additions. Held August1st-3rd, this year’s celebration promises something for everyone. From thrilling music performances, softball games, frog jumping contests, and tasty treats to the return of community favorites and brand-new events.
New This Year: Pickleball & Pageantry
Flambeau-Rama continues to grow, and 2025 brings two big highlights to the schedule. First up, sports enthusiasts can break out their paddles for the inaugural Pickleball Tournament, hosted by the Park Falls Rotary Club. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just looking to have some fun, this tournament adds a competitive (and friendly) twist to the weekend lineup.
Also making a return this year is the Miss Flambeau-Rama Pageant, this cherished tradition is back and ready to shine, celebrating the poise, talent, and spirit of the young women in our community. The pageant will take place at Park Theatre, so make sure to grab a seat and cheer on the contestants. The winner will be introduced under the main tent during band breaks on Saturday night.
A Full Weekend of Music
No Flambeau-Rama would be complete without live music under the stars, and this year’s lineup does not disappoint.
- Friday night kicks off with regional favorites Small Town Famous, followed by Chris Kroeze, the Wisconsin native and finalist from The Voice, bringing his powerful vocals and guitar-driven country rock to the stage.
- Saturday night will keep the energy high with That 90’s Band, delivering a nostalgic set of hits that will have you dancing all night, and Moniker, known for their electrifying mix of rock and pop covers.
- On Sunday, the festival wraps up with a full day of festivities, including the Flambeau-Rama Grand Parade, one of the largest and most colorful parades in the Northwoods. Cap it all off with live music by Robby Vee, son of rock ‘n’ roll legend Bobby Vee, who brings his own energetic blend of retro and modern sounds.
