Midwest hunters, clear your calendars. An exciting new outdoor tradition is making its regional debut right here in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin.
From July 17 to July 19, the Dodge County Fairgrounds will play host to Huntstock Midwest—a high-energy, three-day immersion into the hunting lifestyle. Often described as the “Woodstock of hunting,” the festival is making its very first appearance in the Midwest, making the Dodge County Fairgrounds the epicenter of the region’s outdoor community.
Whether you are looking to fine-tune your whitetail strategy, test out the latest archery gear, plan a fun family outing, or just talk shop with fellow hunters over great food and live music, this weekend is built for you.
What to Expect at Huntstock Midwest
This isn’t your average, quiet trade show. Huntstock is designed as a full-immersion experience with continuous action from Friday morning through Sunday afternoon.
- Elite Educational Lineup: Learn straight from the experts. The weekend features over 40 seminars from industry icons like The Hunting Public, Dan Infalt, John Eberhart, Jared Scheffler, Barry Wensel, Billy Molls and Lanny Benoit. They will be covering everything from aggressive whitetail tactics to deep-woods bear hunting.
- Hands-On Archery: Bring your bow! The event features interactive 3D archery ranges and high-stakes novelty shoots where you can put your skills to the test.
- Massive Exhibitor Footprint: Explore gear, apparel, and specialized hunting tech from over 100 premier outdoor exhibitors.
- Over $47,000 in Door Prizes: Just by showing up, you have a shot at bringing home serious upgrades for your autumn setup.
- Nightly Entertainment & Camping: The party doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. Enjoy live music performances on Friday and Saturday nights. You can even book a spot at the Fairgrounds RV Park to camp right next to the action all weekend long.
A Family-Friendly Tradition
Hunting is all about passing the torch to the next generation. To make it easier to bring the whole crew, kids under 12 get in completely free. The festival will feature a pellet gun range put on by Wisconsin Hunters Education, outdoor lawn games, a make-a-smore station and other activities designed to keep young hunters engaged and excited.
First Responder Friday
Friday’s admission is cheaper than the weekend and if you are a veteran, police, fire or EMS worker you’ll get extra perks including entry to the exclusive First Responder Prize pool where you’ll have a much better chance to win some great prizes. With less attendees than the busy weekend days and one of the largest general prize pools of the weekend (Over $17,000 in prizes), Friday is one of the best days to attend! Admission is FREE after 5pm on Friday as well.
