Oshkosh Wisconsin Culture and Entertainment
Oshkosh has seen a recent (as of 2006) resurgence in its cultural and entertainment options.
A downtown redevelopment plan led to the construction of the outdoor Leach Amphitheater on the Fox River, hosting the weekly Waterfest concert series[7] during the summer, as well as national touring musical acts and local community events. Also in downtown Oshkosh is the Grand Opera House, a performing arts center.
Downtown Gallery Walks, held every first Saturday of the month year-round, surged in attendance in comparison to previous years through the warmer months of 2006.[citation needed] A number of downtown Oshkosh music venues have opened and existing venues have tended to expand their schedules, following the trend of the area at large.
Long-running community festivals such as Sawdust Days[8] in Menominee Park continue to be popular. Menominee Park is also the site of the Menominee Park Zoo and "Little Oshkosh", a community-built playground. Oshkosh is also home to "Country USA" featuring entertainment from dozens of country music acts over a five-day period in June.
