Events in Breese today

This book club gathers on the fourth Thursday of each month from January through October, and everyone is welcome to take part.

Jeff Chapman performs live on the patio.

Camp Ondessonk and Korte and Luitjohan Contractors host the 31st Annual Pete Korte Memorial Golf Benefit for Camp Ondessonk at Roland Barkau Memorial Golf Course. This charitable tournament honors Pete Korte and raises support for Camp Ondessonk’s mission to provide meaningful outdoor and spiritual adventures that empower participants of all ages. Opportunities are available to sponsor, donate prizes, or take part as a team or as an individual, all in support of expanding life-changing camp experiences.

A free outdoor yoga flow returns to New Baden at the farmers market, blending breath and movement in the open air while the market buzzes nearby. Practice on the grass in a wide, welcoming space, then explore local vendors just steps away. Bring a yoga mat and an easygoing spirit. Look for signs at New Baden Village Park to locate the class area. Registration is complimentary. Reserve a spot online or through the Moonbird Yoga app by selecting the Free Area Yoga tab under the Breese location, or sign up on site before class.

The event features a chili cooking competition and a homebrew contest, a lively vendor market, live musical performances, inflatable play structures, an animal petting area, a showcase of tractors and cars, and interactive games, with more to discover.

Crusin on the Square, presented by Rusty Rodz Car Club, welcomes car enthusiasts and casual visitors alike. There is no entry fee and no registration is required. Participants may display their vehicles or simply enjoy those on view. Activities include an optional 50/50 drawing that is the only paid element, along with dash plaques, music, and attendance prizes. The host will never request private messages for registration or payment. For questions, contact the Rusty Rodz Car Club through Facebook messenger.

Enjoy a live patio performance by The Gray Line.

Browse fresh produce, canned goods, baked treats, handmade crafts, and more at this market. It operates regardless of weather, so plan accordingly. Bring cash for purchases, as the bar and food service are cash only and most vendors prefer cash over cards. An ATM is not available on site. For health code compliance due to the working kitchen at the club, pets are not permitted inside the market. Service animals may accompany their handlers.
