Support like this from our local businesses means so much and helps keep traditions like Wo-Zha-Wa going strong year after year.

Meet VFW Post 9387 of Wisconsin Dells 🇺🇸

They’ve been part of the Wo-Zha-Wa tradition for decades, serving tourists, locals and veterans alike, and this year they’ll be back at it from Thursday, September 17 through Sunday, September 20.

Come hungry because their menu is stacked:
🍔 Fresh burgers, Hot dogs + Brats
🥪 Sloppy Joes
🍳 Breakfast sandwiches for the early birds
🍺 Local beers + craft beers
🥤 Soda + water
🥜 Peanuts + popcorn

And yes, there will be music, dancing and TVs set up for the games all weekend long.

VFW Post 9387 was founded in 1973 and is made up of veterans from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. Wo-Zha-Wa gives their members a chance to spend time with the community, share stories and continue giving back to the place they call home.

And here’s a wild stat: over the years, they’ve served more than 135,000 burgers, brats and hot dogs 😳

The best part? Funds raised during the weekend go right back into supporting the Wisconsin Dells community.

Make sure you stop by their tent, grab something to eat, raise a glass and say hello. ❤️🤍💙

If you smell homemade pizza during Wo-Zha-Wa weekend, there’s a very good chance Dells Troop 66 is behind it. 🙌

Scouts BSA Troop 66 has been part of the Wisconsin Dells community for more than 70 years, with both boys’ and girls’ troops learning leadership, teamwork and service through everything from community clean-ups and flag ceremonies to food pantry collections.

And during Wo-Zha-Wa? They put those teamwork skills to delicious use and serving up...

🍕 5 varieties of homemade pizza
🍗 Boneless chicken wings
🍿 Freshly popped popcorn
🍬 Candy
☕ Bella Goose coffee
🥤 30+ varieties of canned beverages
🌅 PLUS their loaded homemade breakfast pizza if you get there early!

Here’s a little perspective on just how busy their weekend gets: Troop 66 Scouts make 150+ pizzas, 300+ bags of popcorn and sell more than 1,300 beverages during the festival. 🤯

Even better, their Wo-Zha-Wa sales help Scouts fund their own outdoor adventures, teaching them that those unforgettable experiences are earned through teamwork and hard work.

Make Troop 66 one of your food stops during Wo-Zha-Wa weekend and support the Scouts while you’re at it! ❤️

Maybe it's the year you won the biggest prize at the carnival.

Maybe it's walking the antique market with your grandparents.

Maybe it's cheering during the parade.

Maybe it's introducing your kids to the same festival you grew up loving.

Every family has a Wo-Zha-Wa story.

Tell us yours 🤍

🇵🇱 A little taste of Poland, right in the heart of Wo-Zha-Wa!

The Polski Klub tent has been a Wisconsin Dells tradition for decades, serving up authentic Polish favorites including:

🥟 Pierogi
🥬 Gołąbki, traditional stuffed cabbage rolls
🌭 Polish sausage + sauerkraut
🥔 Famous potato pancakes
🍩 Pączki
🥐 Kołaczki

You can even find Polish beers like Żywiec and Okocim!

But the Polski Klub tent is about so much more than incredible food. Since **1984**, the club has helped preserve Polish language, traditions and history while giving back to the Wisconsin Dells community.

A portion of the proceeds from their tent supports local organizations including St. Cecilia Catholic Church, local police and fire departments, the food pantry, Hope House, Dells Area United Fund, Wisconsin Dells sports teams and scholarships for local high school students.

For the members of Polski Klub, Wo-Zha-Wa is a chance to come together, celebrate their heritage and share a little piece of Poland with the community they love. 🇵🇱❤️

Make sure a stop at the Polski Klub tent is on your Wo-Zha-Wa list!
