Paperfest presented by Community First Credit Union brings the fun to Sunset Park in Kimberly, WI from July 16-19, 2026. The 38th annual free-admission event will feature a food truck rally, carnival rides ($1 rides on Sunday), a hot air balloon glow, fireworks, and more. The festival will offer over 35 free live music acts across three stages including national headliners. The music is great, the beer is cold, but the best part is the proceeds from Paperfest are donated back into the community through various local nonprofit organizations. It’s all about community!
