Wausau River District

At the Wausau River District, we believe a strong downtown creates a strong community. We bring people together through events, support local businesses, and create experiences that make downtown Wausau vibrant and welcoming. Our volunteers are at the heart of that work—and every hour donated helps make a difference.

• Build partnerships that strengthen downtown and the surrounding community
• Encourage economic growth and investment in the River District
• Connect residents and visitors to everything downtown Wausau has to offer
• Lead initiatives that move Wausau towards a vibrant, thriving future.
