Deerfest

DeerFest runs August 14-16, 2026 at the Holiday Inn Convention Center in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. It's positioned as an all-ages outdoor experience rather than a gear-focused retail event—think festival atmosphere with seminars, exhibits, and demonstrations across hunting, fishing, and conservation.

• •Interactive exhibits and live demonstrations covering outdoor skills and equipment
• •Expert seminars and talks from industry figures and outdoor personalities
• •Meet-and-greet opportunities with renowned outdoor specialists (past events featured Melissa Bachman)
• •Vendor exhibits showcasing hunting and fishing brands
• •Family-friendly activities alongside content for serious hunters and anglers

DeerFest positions itself as a place to connect with like-minded outdoor enthusiasts, create memories, and discover new gear and techniques. The event includes content tailored to both beginners exploring the outdoor lifestyle and experienced hunters and anglers looking to refine their skills.

Blog content hints at partnerships with established outdoor brands and a curated approach to vendor selection, with posts featuring holiday gift guides and seasonal content aimed at the outdoor community.
