This event will take into consideration concerns raised by local health officials.

FFI’s mission is to support local and regional non-profits through the creation of safe, fun, and affordable family-friendly festivals for Fond du Lac and the surrounding communities.   With support from our generous sponsors, we’re looking to create our own virtual events as well as a new event experience at Lakeside Park in Fond du Lac.  Details will be released soon.

Public health and safety will continue to be a priority and FFI will seek additional guidance from public health officials as well as other community leaders as they move forward with planning of Walleye Weekend 2021 and other family-friendly events.

Walleye Weekend is a free family-friendly festival that creates fund-raising opportunities for many community non-profit organizations.
