Celebrate Local Heritage

Start your Heritage Days adventure bright and early by exploring the bustling Farmers Market and Flea Market, where local vendors showcase everything from fresh seasonal produce and homemade baked goods to handcrafted gifts, antiques, and one-of-a-kind treasures.

Lace up your running shoes for the popular 5-Mile and 5K Run/Walk, a community tradition that welcomes participants of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re racing for a personal best or enjoying a leisurely stroll through New Richmond, it’s the perfect way to kick off a day filled with hometown celebration.

Food, Music & Festivities

The annual Heritage Days festival transforms the grounds of the New Richmond Heritage Center into a lively celebration of history, culture, and family fun. Visitors can tour historic buildings, browse artisan demonstrations and crafters, enjoy live music, and watch the fascinating Civil War Squad bring history to life. Families will find plenty to entertain children with face painting, games, a petting zoo, vintage games, and an exciting raptor show. While adults can admire antique quilts, a vintage wedding dress display, blacksmith demonstrations, doll making, and an impressive collection of classic cars.

No festival experience would be complete without delicious food and sweet treats, and Heritage Days delivers plenty of both. Grab lunch at the food tent before cooling off with a scoop of ice cream or browsing the nostalgic selection of penny candy. With interactive exhibits, unique displays, shopping opportunities, and activities around every corner, the Heritage Family Festival offers something for each generation. It’s a wonderful opportunity to slow down, celebrate local heritage, and create lasting memories with family and friends in the heart of New Richmond.

Enjoy Your Stay

Why limit your visit to just one day? Turn Heritage Days into a memorable weekend getaway and discover everything New Richmond has to offer. Explore charming downtown shops, enjoy scenic parks and trails, fish on nearby rivers, and savor a meal at one of the city’s welcoming restaurants. With comfortable lodging options and plenty of small-town hospitality, spending the weekend gives you the chance to experience the community beyond the festival and uncover even more reasons to return throughout the year.
