Interesting Facts About Brodhead

Brodhead's really big bash of the year takes place in August and is called Covered Bridge Days.  The event features a variety of activities around Brodhead including a jazz-fest, sidewalk sales, sports tournaments, cycling, dancing, a classic car show, civil war reenactments, and lots more.

Also during the summer months, you can attend free twilight concerts held either in the Veterans Memorial Park (during good weather) or in the Congressional UCC Church (when the weather is not so nice). The Brodhead Jaycees hold a couple of craft fairs (March and November) and the community holds an annual Autumn Fest on the last Saturday in September. You can find information about these (and many more) events in the Green County Area Events Calendar.
