A piano battles, Winterfest and more in Wausau this weekend

Posted

Dueling Pianos

Friday, 1/7 | Grand Theater, Wausau

If you’ve never been to a piano bar, you have no idea how fun they can be. There’s something about a really good piano entertainer that sets him or herself apart from other musicians. So this show coming up at The Grand ought to be a real blast. Minnesota musicians David Eichholz and Ted Manderfeld put on a Vegas-style comedy music show that channels everything from rap to country. And like those piano bars I mentioned earlier, audience participation is a key component of the excitement. 7:30 pm. $30-$50. grandtheater.org

Winter Weekend

Fri.-Sat 1/17-18 | Downtown Wausau 

It’s that time of the year again - Winterfest moved to a different date this year, and it likely had a big impact because now there is snow on the ground. See the sled dogs and weight pull, the petting zoo and cookies and pizza from Pizza Kiln. And, the night before is Brew Fest, with 10 breweries represented, a brat bar and live music from Curious Crow. Winter Fest is free from 11 am-1 pm, Brew Fest is $40 and from 6 pm-9 pm. wausauevents.org
