Welcome to Oshkosh

Hello and welcome to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, an international business and recreational hub in the heart of the Fox Valley. 

The abundance of waterways, central location, and warmth and hospitality of the residents make Oshkosh the perfect place for your son or daughter to not only go to school, but also to enjoy, play and grow! 

The community is rich in arts and culture. From the beauty of the Paine Art Center and Gardens, the majesty of the Victorian Grand Opera House and the world-class EAA AirVenture Museum to the state-of-the art Leach Amphitheater, Oshkosh has something to peak any interest.

The city’s rich heritage allows visitors to gaze back through time and explore a colorful past, while the performing and visual arts bring today’s Oshkosh to life.

The splendor and variety extends into an action-packed annual events calendar, too. Come experience an exciting week at EAA AirVenture, stomp your feet to five days of non-stop country music headliners at Country USA or take a carriage ride through Menominee Park during the annual holiday Celebration of Lights. Add year-round sporting events and fishing tournaments to the picture, and you have a reason in every season to visit Oshkosh.

Flavors of Oshkosh include beautiful upscale restaurants, ethnic foods that speak to your tastes and classic food that travels back in time to nostalgic drive-ins. You’ll find the possibilities are endless. 

With some of the most impressive big-brand name stores anywhere, The Outlet Shoppes at Oshkosh are a great way to start a shopping day. You’ll be amazed at the bargains you’ll find all in one location.

If downtown shopping is more your style, you will want to check out Main Street, outfitted with specialty
stores, boutiques, coffee shops and cafés. Stroll, browse or shop for all the things you didn’t know you needed and that you now can’t live without! 

With so many opportunities for relaxation, fun, and yes, learning too, you’ll want to come visit your son or daughter often — just don’t tell them that we told you to!
