There’s no denying that Prairie du Chien is filled with fun and unique activities for the whole family to enjoy. One of the most interesting in town is undoubtedly the Villa Louis Carriage Classic. The Classic is an annual event that is held the weekend after Labor Day and is ultimately a celebration of Wisconsin’s stock farm tradition and history. One-of-a-kind and entirely entertaining, the Villa Louis Carriage Classic is full of heritage and features competitive carriage driving alongside gorgeously built carriages and unique costumes. Participants race around expertly whether they’re racing in the arena or obstacle classes. The best part? The equally gorgeous carriage horses and the gorgeous Villa Louis Historic Site.
