Dining on the Street wraps up for the season, will return next year - WSAW

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAW) - The Wausau River District has concluded the bi-weekly ‘Dining on the Street’ event. It was scheduled to be held on Sept. 8 and Sept. 15 but has been canceled. Wausau River District Executive Director Blake Opal-Wahoske said the reason to end the event a week early, was due to restaurant staffing, cooling temperatures and smaller crowds after school started up.

The idea was born during the pandemic to give downtown restaurants a safer way to serve guests by allowing them to socially distance themselves at tables placed on N 3rd Street.

During the summer of 2020, participating restaurants served guests on Wednesday evenings. It was so popular, this year Saturday was included in the event. During Dining on the Streets, roads were blocked off to give the businesses room to set up the tables for dining.

Opal-Wahoske said in 2021 alone the event series generated $720,000, with about 70,000 people attending.

The Wednesday event coincided with Concerts on the Square.
