The McFarland Bird Festival is annual event held in McFarland WI as part of our Bird City designation. The event is held in April at Lewis Park on the shores of Lower Mud Lake.

Each June, McFarland proudly observes Pride Month, recognizing the profound impact of LGBTQIA+ individuals. In light of increasing anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation nationwide, Governor Tony Evers has reaffirmed Wisconsin's commitment to protecting LGBTQIA+ Wisconsinites.

Supporting this, the McFarland Village Board annually approves the raising of the Pride flag at the Municipal Center for the entire month of June. 2025 marks the third consecutive year this flag has flown.

For McFarland, raising the Pride flag is a visible symbol of our commitment to inclusion, respect, and love for all LGBTQIA+ community members, and it represents their enduring resilience.
