Each February, as winter takes hold and Lake Winnebago’s sturgeon spearing season begins, Fond du Lac transforms into a celebration of art, culture, and community with Sturgeon Spectacular. Here at THELMA, we work to bring creativity and excitement to this uniquely Wisconsin tradition.
THELMA serves as a key partner in Sturgeon Spectacular by hosting a variety of artistic and cultural events that enhance the festival experience. From live music performances and art exhibitions to family-friendly activities and interactive workshops, THELMA provides a vibrant space where festivalgoers can warm up and immerse themselves in the arts.
One of the festival’s highlights is THELMA’s involvement in showcasing the Wisconsin Snow Sculpting Championship, where artists transform massive blocks of snow and ice into stunning works of art right outside the building. Inside, THELMA offers a cozy retreat with hot drinks, creative activities, and a welcoming atmosphere where visitors can explore exhibitions featuring regional and national artists.
THELMA’s partnership with Sturgeon Spectacular reflects its mission to celebrate the arts and foster a strong sense of community. By blending the excitement of winter sports with the beauty of artistic expression, this collaboration ensures that Fond du Lac’s winter festival is not just about the thrill of the catch—but also about the joy of creativity and connection.
