Going Nuts at the Dundas Testicle Festival 2022

5/31/2022

I learned about the Dundas Testicle Festival over a drink with my husband one Saturday afternoon, and by the next Saturday, we were in the car traversing rural Brown and Calumet counties in search of the little unincorporated town called Dundas. We are only just taking the opportunity to travel in Wisconsin in search of good food and good stories now that COVID issues are slowing down and my health is better. We’ve missed more than a few good opportunities in the last three years.

We were not going to let that stop us from trying Rocky Mountain Oysters, or bull testicles. It’s an unusual delicacy in most of the US, much less Wisconsin. A festival that takes up an entire block in a little town surrounded by pasture and farms on all sides that celebrates exactly that is even more of an unusual experience. I didn’t know what to expect before setting off through the rural county roads.

Revolution Market's Oktoberfest 2021

Fall arrived in a rush this past week, and with it came the cool mornings I have been waiting for for weeks now. I woke up on Saturday morning ready to face the day and the inaugural Oktoberfest over at Revolution Market. The staff and vendors at Revolution have been some of my greatest supporters, hitting that like button for me at many opportunities. Who would I be if I didn’t set aside the time to visit an event that showed so much promise and brought together so many great vendors from across our Green Bay Community?

This event also presented itself as an opportunity to fill up my entire fridge with local goods where I have mostly stopped myself at my limit at the morning farmer’s markets for the last few weeks. We love the resident vendors of Revolution Market, and I was very excited to meet some new folks at Oktoberfest.

Some of these vendors we’ll discuss in their own separate articles as we spent a lot of time with them during the event, and their food deserves their own highlights. I had no idea what to expect when I showed up at the lot. The interior of Revolution was too small in my head to fit every single vendor that their facebook marketing promised, so I figured there would be parking lot spill over.

Brews, Bistros, and Bonfires at the Botanical Gardens 2021

One cool September evening, my husband let me know we were lucky enough to get tickets to the sold out event at the botanical gardens here in town. We’ve talked for awhile now about taking a nice saturday afternoon to visit the location for the first time, but this fell into our lap. With some trepidation, I agreed to go. I like being able to plan a little farther ahead than six hours!
