It would have been wonderful if the weather would have been nicer. Lots of vendors, ports potties, food courts. Small town but big celebration with lots of people. Parking is 10.00 per vehicle!

The festival was fun despite the intermittent rain. Tons of vendors, the museum in town was great- esp the short video that was shown, the close proximity of the marsh tour all made for a fun AND informative time learning about the process of growing and harvesting cranberries.

The event itself was rather nice: it is a fairly large festival with numerous booths, very friendly and pleasant people, and many dining options. It has a great Wisconsin feel to it. Unfortunately, I can't rate it 5 stars due to the following:1. There are absolutely no tables or benches where you can sit and eat. You end up eating while standing, which isn't always very convenient.2. There were only a few vendors selling actual cranberries and food with cranberry flavors. It was a big disappointment to me, as I love cranberries! I was really hoping to see more cranberry beverages, sweets, maybe even meat and sandwiches with cranberry sauces. Most food was just your typical fast food you'd see at some fair or festival.3. Large sections of the event felt like a flea market. Only a limited number of vendors offered local arts and crafts or handmade goods. I was hoping to see more Wisconsin-made merchandise.Overall, I had some mixed feelings about the place due to these three factors mentioned. I am hopeful they may take some of this feedback into consideration and perhaps make some improvements!

A family tradition that keeps getting better! The vendors and shoppers are usually just SO friendly! Drivers pulling benches are super helpful. If you love food and people-watching, this event is for you!

Love the festival. Been here many years in a row since we discovered it. Cannot see it all in one day but worth it even if only have one day . A number of the vendors are cash only so plan for that. Take a cart or large bag or wzgon to tote your purchases. Great variety of offerings. Only downside is cost of overnight stay - prices are much significantly higher for the weekend of the festival.

A fun place! The whole town transforms into this festival. We went when it was a rainy day, so the crowd wasn't bad at all. I hear though when it's nice it's shoulder to shoulder.

Definitely not like it was when I was younger….very sad and disappointing….I truly believe this event has lost some touch on something…hardly anything related to cranberry’s…I’ve only see like 3 vendors that had stuff. Like I said definitely not like it was years ago when my grandpa was a vendor here!

Always a fantastic time well organized and tidy... would love to see it go back to more hand crafted booths rather than the catalog ordered items.

What an event 14500 people in a town of normally under 600. Miles of food crafts and STUFF. prepare to walk and bring a wagon or backpack, you will find something"s" to buy. Visit the craft/handmade area for items you dont see else where. Make sure to book as close to 1 yr ahead as possible rooms are at a premium, and be ready for more than 1 day to see everything. There are ALOT of "girls weekend out" groups shopping, shopping and more shopping. One of the few issues is finding a specific vendor or item, the maps are hard to follow if you are looking for a booth number or vendor by name. You will pay to park but there are constant shuttles for you and your stuff. They have over 800 Arts & Crafts booths, 300 Flea & Antique booths, 100 Farm Market booths, and food food and food, (the whole thing is bigger than some state fair's) I recommend you give it a try

A fun festival. Looked like the whole town pitches in and puts their hearts into this festival.

Such a fun time at CranFest this year! We've been vendor's for years and love it every year! The weather was a bit cold and rainy this year, but the crowds were out shopping and everyone is always so nice!

Too many people and too many vendors for my liking.. I wanted to learn more about cranberries. I toured the walk which was great.

My first year attending...ive driven through.. but it was a great many vendors, with goods, or services. Found some great items, for Christmas. Not ones you would find in a store.
