A Wisconsin Toast with Charlie Berens

Join beloved Wisconsin personality Charlie Berens for a special Mainstage celebration honoring the inaugural Freshwater Food & Wine Festival and the traditions that make Wisconsin unlike anywhere else. Bringing his signature humor, charm, and unmistakable Midwest wit, Charlie will raise an official toast to the festival while celebrating the culture, hospitality, cocktails, and community that define life in the Badger State.

As part of the Berens Backyard Bar experience, guests can expect laughs, stories, and a true Wisconsin-style gathering centered around great company and a proper Old Fashioned. Equal parts heartfelt and hilarious, this special appearance is a celebration of Wisconsin pride served with a splash of brandy.
