Celebrate De Pere
Celebrating 21 Years in 2011!
Created in 1990 to celebrate the city of De Pere's 100th Anniversary, Celebrate De Pere started as a one-day event, and has since evolved into one of Wisconsin's premier outdoor festivals. Driven by an all-volunteer staff, the event's mission is to help local non-profit groups raise money for their many different causes. The event itself supports local causes with its proceeds.
Each year local causes are evaluated by The Celebrate Committee, Inc. and funds are distributed. Since 1990, Celebrate De Pere has helped raise over 1.5 million dollars for these organizations: Vietnam Veterans, De Pere VFW, De Pere Beautification Committee, Cerebral Palsy Center, Kiwanis Club, Lions Club, Riah's Rainbow, CASA of Brown County, De Pere Youth Hockey, De Pere Fire Department, De Pere Christian Outreach , De Pere Optimists, Altrusia House, De Pere High School Redbirds Girls Softball, De Pere Wrestling, West De Pere Booster Club, De Pere and West De Pere High Grad Bash/Lock-in, De Pere Police Department, Boy Scouts, De Pere Rotary Club, 432nd Family Readiness Group, Oneida Relay for Life, De Pere Historical Society, the Kress Family Library, Syble Hopp School, NEW Service Dogs, Bay Area Humane Society, and more.
