Get ready for an unforgettable weekend of community pride as the Dane Fire Department celebrates its 125th anniversary! The Dane Firefighter’s Benefit Festival will take place from June 26th through the 28th, 2026, at Bert Deans Park, located at 120 Railroad Street in Dane, Wisconsin. All proceeds from this historic weekend will directly benefit the Dane-Vienna Firefighters’ Association, making it the perfect opportunity to support local heroes while enjoying incredible food, live music, and family entertainment.
The weekend is packed with action, kicking off on Friday evening at 6:00 PM when the ongoing Silent Auction officially opens. Live rock ‘n’ roll from High Mileage will take the stage on Friday at 7:00 PM, followed by country-rock favorites West on 12 performing Saturday night at 8:00 PM. Throughout the entire weekend, visitors can catch the competitive Co-Ed Softball Tournament and enjoy a fully stocked Beer Tent featuring a wide selection of beverages, including Busch Light, Busch Light Lime, Budweiser, Miller Lite, Coors Light, Michelob Ultra, Yuengling, Happy Dad, Twisted Tea, Carbliss Malt, and Busch NA.
Sunday brings the highly anticipated Family Fun Day, running from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM. The highlight of the day is the Main Street Parade at noon, surrounded by a full lineup of activities for the kids, including a sawdust coin hunt, face painting, and water balloon fights. Bounce houses will also be available all weekend long to keep the younger guests entertained. As the festival winds down, attendees should remember to check their bids, as the Silent Auction officially closes at 6:00 PM on Sunday.
Attendees are encouraged to come hungry, as the food stands will be grilling up fresh burgers, brats, and hotdogs from Friday through Sunday. Visitors will not want to miss out on the World Famous BBQ Chicken Dinner, served exclusively on Sunday. Gather your friends and family, and head to Bert Deans Park for a weekend of celebration, community, and fun!
