WELCOME
To the Waupaca Fine Arts Festival
The Mission Statement of the Waupaca Fine Arts Festival is to foster the arts through promotion and sponsorship of artistic programs, cultural activities, and educational leadership to further promote artistic appreciation to the citizens of the Waupaca area.
The Fine Arts Festival was founded by Waupaca High School Choral Director, Gerald C. Knoepfel in 1963. Since that time, the Fine Arts Festival, its membership, along with generous contributions from the citizens of Waupaca and beyond, are responsible for helping to support and bring the Arts to Waupaca.
The three main branches of the Fine Arts Festival include: The Waupaca Community Chorus and Civic Orchestra, the Waupaca Community Theatre & Children’s Theatre, and the Waupaca Art Show.
The Fine Arts Festival has given to the citizens of Waupaca and its surrounding area an opportunity to develop their talents as singers, musicians, artists and actors. They’ve discovered new heights for their creative abilities. The Festival’s various cultural events have reached an audience of thousands of people and helped them grow in their appreciation of the arts.
This is our 63rd anniversary year for our organization.

This year our Christmas show is extra fun as we are bringing in new talent to perform with our existing veterans. Neil Nusz is brand new to our "Twelve Days of Christmas Cabaret" show, where Pam Gusmer has been with the show since its inception, even before it became an annual WFAF event. Neil and Pam share some songs individually and together in our fun holiday music and prose line-up for this year. Get your tickets now for this wonderful holiday evening out at the Waupaca Country Club. Tickets are on sale now and seating is limited! our.show/twelvedays
These two need no introduction, but we're going to do it anyway. Kay and Marcel are veterans for our "Twelve Days of Christmas Cabaret" as our readers. They have been our readers from the start of our show, and will again share a variety of fun and sentimental holiday poems and prose between our musical numbers.

Some people believe Christmas season starts right after Halloween, and to give you plenty of time to get your tickets, we'll jump on that bandwagon! We will kick off the introductions for our third annual "Twelve Days of Christmas Cabaret" show with two of our most veteran performers for this show. Lori Bauer and Tim Koll are returning from the previous two annual Twelve Days of Christmas Cabaret shows, and, as a fun fact, the two of them, along with their friend Pam on vocals and John and Holly as musicians started this whole idea of a Christmas show at the Country Club a few years ago. They really bring their talent and experience to this show sharing some Christmas favorites. Plus, this year Lori Bauer is stepping up to direct the show!
