West Bend, Wi — The West Bend Friends of Sculpture (WBFS) invites the community to experience West Bend’s remarkable public art collection in a whole new way during Sculpture & Savor, Saturday, September 19, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Regner Park in West Bend.
Designed as a celebration of art, food and community, Sculpture & Savor will bring together guided sculpture tours, live music, food and beverages, family activities, and a dramatic live sculpture-making experience.
One of the highlights of the day will be guided trolley tours of West Bend’s downtown public sculpture collection. Local docents will introduce participants to sculptures throughout the downtown, sharing the stories behind the artwork, artists, and West Bend’s long commitment to public art. Trolley tours will run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Because seating is limited, guests are encouraged to reserve their trolley tour spot early.
Back at Regner Park, visitors will have an opportunity to see sculpture being created firsthand during a live molten aluminum pour. Guests will also be able to participate by creating their own designs in sand molds, which will then be cast in aluminum to produce a unique piece of art to take home.
The day will also feature food and live music, along with beverages, family-friendly art experiences, children’s activities, and opportunities to learn more about the people and organizations supporting the arts in West Bend.

“West Bend has an extraordinary collection of public sculpture, but we sometimes drive or walk past these works without stopping to appreciate the stories behind them,” said Shawn Graff of the West Bend Friends of Sculpture. “Sculpture & Savor is an opportunity to slow down, experience the art, watch artists at work, enjoy good food and music, and simply have a great day together as a community.”
Sculpture & Savor is organized by the West Bend Friends of Sculpture, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving, promoting, and expanding West Bend’s public sculpture collection and helping residents and visitors connect with art throughout the community.
