There are plenty of ways to spend a day in New Glarus, but not all of them feel equally New Glarus. Some things are fun. Some things are scenic. And some things are so woven into the village’s identity that you almost have to do them at least once.

This list leans into the latter. It is less about generic tourism and more about the rituals, foods, landmarks, odd traditions, and little pieces of folklore that make New Glarus feel like New Glarus.
