The 3nd annual casket races in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, are an exciting and unique event held in the heart of downtown Beaver Dam on South Spring Street during Fall Downtown Fest. Taking place on October 26th, this event promises an adrenaline-pumping spectacle for both participants and spectators.
Casket racing is a thrilling and somewhat macabre competition where teams push decorated caskets (or coffins) on wheels 100 yards down South Spring Street, between the gas station and Ooga Brewing Co. It is a race that combines speed, teamwork, and creativity. Participants often go all out with elaborate casket designs and costumes, adding an element of fun and spectacle to the event.
One of the most enticing aspects of the Beaver Dam casket races is the grand prize of $1,000. This sizable reward adds an extra layer of excitement and competitiveness to the race, as teams vie for the top spot and the coveted cash prize.
Spectators are in for a treat as they gather to watch the races unfold. The atmosphere is likely to be lively and entertaining, with people cheering on their favorite teams and enjoying the creative casket designs. Whether you're participating in the race or watching from the sidelines, it's bound to be an unforgettable experience.
