A Free Community Celebration
Why We Do What We Do
As a credit union, Ripco exists to serve people and communities - not profits. RipcoFest is just one of the ways we live that mission, creating a welcoming space where the focus is simply on being together and enjoying the moment.
It’s free. It’s local. And it was designed for the communities we serve.
Coming Together
RipcoFest is our way of bringing the community together for a day that’s all about fun, connection, and making memories - no memberships required.
Whether you’ve been banking with Ripco for years or you’re simply looking for something fun to do with family and friends, RipcoFest is open to everyone. It’s a celebration of the communities we serve and the people who make them special.
Something for everyone
RipcoFest is designed to be a day where there’s truly something for everyone. Past events have featured a mix of indoor and outdoor activities, creating experiences for all ages. You can expect things like:
- Music and high-energy entertainment
- Free food for attendees
- Face painting and kid-friendly activities
- Fan-favorites like superheroes and princesses
- Big attractions such as bounce houses, bumper cars, and a rock-climbing wall when weather permits
We also introduce new activities each year, keeping RipcoFest fresh and exciting so no two events feel exactly the same.
Save The Date
May 9 | 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM | Hodag Dome (863 Hodag Dome Drive, Rhinelander)
Rain or Shine
RipcoFest is flexible by design. If the weather cooperates, the celebration moves outdoors. If it doesn’t, we bring the fun inside the Hodag Dome.
Either way, the experience stays the same: a welcoming space filled with energy, laughter, and community connection.
