Marshfield Visitor Guide - 2021

WENZEL FAMILY PLAZA
Wenzel Family Plaza
keeps on truckin’ with
family events //////
The Wenzel Family Plaza is
Marshfield’s year-round community
square and event hub located in the
heart of downtown.
The plaza embraced fun in the
snow with Cabin Fever Fest last
February, which encouraged the
community to get out and enjoy
winter in Wisconsin! The event
featured bonfires, s’mores, a cocoa
& beer bar, and kids fun run with one
goal: warm up those winter blues.
The plaza’s summer season kicked
off with the push of a button, turning
on the ever-popular water feature.
All summer, delighted children beat
the heat by running and jumping
through bursting jets of water, again,
again, and again.
Wenzel Family Plaza also brought
back the tradition of hosting Food
Truck Fridays in the plaza last
year, offering people a chance to
experience a meal or snack alfresco:
• Paninis and house made chips
by Stone Press
• Sliders, pork nachos, quesadillas
& more from Munch a Bunch
• Donut holes, elephant ears,
deep fried cream puffs at Geno’s
BakeShoppe
The plaza has also become a place
of gathering for peace of mind.
On Saturdays, the ever-popular
Yoga in the Plaza events filled the
grassy grounds with yoga mats and
attendees wanting to stretch away
stress and achieve some morning
Zen. Even in less-than-ideal
temperatures, yogis from all around
participated.
The Wenzel Family Plaza has
won over the favor of travelers and
citizens alike. After celebrating
its first year, it won Best Public
Improvement Project through the
Wisconsin Economic Development
Corporation and won a 2019 Great
Places Wisconsin award by the
American Planning Association
Wisconsin chapter. The Wenzel
Family Plaza also gained national
notoriety during the Marshfield
episode of the PBS show “Around
the Corner with John McGivern,”
which aired spring of 2020.
The Wenzel Family Plaza’s
programming promises to expand
its offerings of family-centric fun
for 2021 with an exciting new event
this winter: Ice Skating in the Plaza!
