Justin Vernon's Eaux Claires Festival Returns to Chippewa Valley in July 2026

For the first time since 2018, the Eaux Claires Festival, spearheaded by Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, is set to return to the Chippewa Valley this summer.

 

A recent video posted on the festival's official social media channels features two sousaphone players performing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," with the message "Eaux Claires July 24-25" displayed on their instruments.

 

The video was filmed at Carson Park baseball stadium, suggesting a potential new venue for the festival. Previously, the event was held at the old Country Jam grounds.

 

The music festival was last held in 2018, making this upcoming event a highly anticipated return for music enthusiasts in the region.

 

In addition to the festival's return, the Chippewa Valley has seen a surge in new businesses and community developments. The downtown area has welcomed several new restaurants and boutiques, contributing to the region's vibrant cultural scene.

 

Real estate activity has also been robust, with new residential and commercial projects underway, reflecting the area's growing appeal.

 

As the festival dates approach, residents and visitors alike are eager to experience the unique blend of music, art, and community that Eaux Claires is known for.
