An unusual festival

The Johnsonville World's Largest Brat Fest is quite unlike your ordinary festival.

The basis of the festival is to try and set a new World Record for the number of brats consumed in a 4 day period. The festival holds the current record with 189,432 brats set back in 2004. Couple this insane goal with free music, celebrity servers and charitable donations and you've got yourself one outstanding Wisconsin celebration. It's no wonder Madison is been named the "Brat Capital of World."
