What is there to do at Hartland Kids Day?
Here’s what you can expect at Hartland Kids Day 2025:
Hartland Kids Day has tons of fun things to do for kids and parents alike. Here is a typical day at Hartland Kids day you may find in 2025:
Start your day at the Shuttle Stop at Lake Country Lutheran High School and ride the FREE shuttle over to the Nixon Park Drop off site (3 minute ride and strollers are allowed).
Stop at the Divine Redeemer booth right when you get off the shuttle for a $1 iced coffee. Head down the path of businesses and see animals, meet princesses, stop and meet Lake Country Brian with 6th Degree Properties.
Stop at the Lake Country Family Fun booth to get your free swag bag (one per family). There are 250 bags and the LCFF booth is to the right of the mainstage. *The bags are usually gone by 11:00 am. Take in a performance or two at the mainstage which includes theatre, music, dancing and more!
Head over to the NEW* Pony Experience in the parking lot. While not real ponies, you can ride these around the parking lot – all ages! Make mom, dad, grandma and grandpa ride them, too! Meet some more local business, hey, maybe you’ll meet a dentist or find a new hobby you love! Bounce over to the bounce houses provided by Bounce Life Rental.
Stop by Lake Country Dance booth and say hi to our Premiere sponsor, who always has great stuff going on at their booth. Learn about their NEWEST location too, now that they are all settled in!
When you get hungry, choose from Chick-fil-a, Smoke Ring BBQ, and Tots on the Street. Follow it up with a dessert from Just Dough-Lightful or Quincy the Waffle Wagon. If you get hot, enjoy a treat from KONA ICE. Go pet some of the animals from Glacier Rock farms or the the Waukesha County Parks booth.
Play on the playground or splash at the splash pad to cool off before taking in more shows, dancing to the music and meeting new people. Hartland Kids Day is ALWAYS the last Wednesday in July, so take off of work in advance 🙂
In 2025, participants will have the opportunity to have a picture with our local celebrity, Andrea Weisman, USOA Mrs. Waukesha County, in the morning.
Later, Alley Faith of 103.7 KISS FM will be in the park from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm at the Lake Country Family Fun booth to the right of the mainstage.
Hartland Kids Day Charity Spotlight
Lake Country Family Fun is again supporting the BackPack Coalition of Waukesha County. In 2025 they will be accepting online cash donations and the following for an in-person supply drive. If you’d like to make an online donation, please follow this link.
Here is what your donation (cash or through the supply drive) does:
- Ensures a child can start the school year with the supplies needed to succeed.
- Without the right school supplies, a child’s capacity to learn can be greatly diminished.
- Makes a child proud to have their own school supplies. Every child starts out on the same foot, with the same items needed for the grade and school they attend.
- Reduces the amount of money teachers spend to fill supply gaps that families can’t afford.
- Frees up family budgets that are already strained, especially during these
challenging times. - Helps our youth grow to be tomorrow’s young adults, ready to face the world.
Our goal is to provide new backpack and school supplies for more than 7,000 students which is a 30% increase from last year. Food pantries in Waukesha County who are supporting the coalition report utilization of their services continue to increase and Backpack Coalition, a program of United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County is dedicated to help support families.
The following items are sought in 2025 and MUST BE NEW for the supply drive to be brought directly to Hartland Kids Day. The booth is located right at the shuttle drop off at Nixon Park. Prior to the event, you can also drop off needed supplies with USAO Mrs. Waukesha County, Andrea Weisman at her office:

Lost and Found Information
We get it, we are moms, too. You’re pushing the stroller through and all the sudden you realize your child has one shoe. Where’s the other shoe?! The Lake Country Family Fun booth will host a lost and found for the day. If you find anything, please bring it to the Lake Country Family Fun Booth, located on the right side of the stage, while looking at it from the bleachers. If you lose anything, we hope you can be reunited with your lost objects.

Excited to Attend HKD 2025??
We LOVE Hartland Kids Day!
We had a wonderful time at kids day again this year! I think this was our fourth or fifth year to come to Kids Day. My grandson looks forward to it every time. I’m hoping that you will have many more food vendors next year including maybe some chocolate or sweets in that area. It was a great time and we were delightfully worn out by the end of the day. Thank you so much for having this event.
Hi CJ! We are so happy that you you had a wonderful time at Hartland Kids Day! We will be looking into more food vendors for next year! Thank you for the kind words. Be sure to stop at the LCFF tent next year and say hi!
