Cedarburg, A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Classic

If you are looking for a place to live that offers a taste of country, and yet is a busy community lifestyle, Cedarburg would fit! Located at the northwest corner of Ozaukee County, the housing stock ranges from 1800’s log homes, to new and upscale construction!  Large country parcels to manageable suburban lots.

As a child, we’d drive out “to the country” to visit cousins, and that would take us through Cedarburg, and past the Covered Bridge.  This picture of my parents in front of the bridge in the 1960s.  My sister’s wedding photos were taken at the park. This historic landmark, on Covered Bridge Road, just north of Hwy 60 and Five Corners still stands today.  Built in 1876 it is the last one standing out of 85 that once covered the state.

The downtown area of Cedarburg is a shopper’s  delight.  With everything from the Winery at the north end, in the Cedar Creek Settlement, to the Ice Cream Parlor, Candy Store, Soap Store, Quilt Shop and a few restaurants in between.  If you are looking for a unique gift, or some good wine, no doubt you will find it here!

Cedarburg is well known for its Strawberry Festival, Winter Festival, Fall Harvest Festival, Oktoberfest, Maxwell Street Days, and many festive holiday events in

November and December.   The Cedar Creek Settlement sponsors the Festive Friday Eves from November 19th through December 17th featuring Wine tasting, shopping & visiting Santa to name a few activities.  I plan on checking out a “Blue Christmas” this Friday the 19th, a 50’s inspired event!

Cedarburg also boasts great schools and parks.  People who live here love the small town feel, yet they are just 20 miles north of downtown Milwaukee!  If Cedarburg sounds like a good place for your family, call me for a list of homes for sale.

Strawberry Festival in Historic Cedarburg

If you’re looking for a great time this weekend, check out Cedarburg and the 25th annual Strawberry Festival.

Saturday and Sunday June 26, 27 you’ll see Washington Ave packed with festival goers enjoying everything from strawberry pancakes to strawberry wine. You can even try a strawberry brat!

There will be tons of kid events in Cedar Creek Park such as pony rides and a petting zoo, Sumo wrestlers, face painting and a mural where kids can try their hand at painting. The whole family will enjoy the CedarQuacker 500 duck races both Saturday and Sunday at 1:00pm.

Check out the “Paint the Festival” competition, where registered artists can compete in the Historic District of Cedarburg, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. The streets will be full of live music including bluegrass, top forty and rock and roll. A strawberry cooking demo/tasting will be held on Saturday morning as well as daily contests like strawberry shortcake eating and strawberry bubblegum blowing.

Aside from all the activities that Strawberry Fest brings to town, Cedarburg in itself is a charming little village. Downtown is peppered with unique shops and restaurants and of course a winery and antique shop too. Plus there’s the historic covered bridge, nearby. So if you can’t make it to Strawberry Fest, set aside another day when you can take in all that Cedarburg has to offer.
