Saturday kicks off with a 3 v 3 Basketball Tournament, a car show, and then a 5k Run & Walk. There is also a Bean Bag Toss Tournament for two person teams. Live music starts at noon with Pick’n n Grin’n. Beginning at 10:00 a.m. the Market on Main Vendor Fair begins along with the Food Court. The day also will feature a wide variety of kid’s entertainment, including Cristo Rey Ranch Petting Zoo, and inflatable obstacle course, crafts, 9 hole mini golf, and the mini rubber duck races. The festival will also offer archery alley by the Horicon Marsh Bowmen. Live music continues at 4:00 p.m. with “Crank the Radio” and then at 8:00 p.m. “Midnight Road Crew” will perform downtown on Lot 21 just behind Main Street.

Sunday brings back all the children’s activities from Saturday plus Market on Main Vendor Fair beginning at 10:00 a.m. The 32nd  Annual Audubon Days Parade begins at 11:00 a.m. on Mayville’s Historic Main Street.
