Events in Wausau today

Now in its fifth year, this event invites high school students to spend the day exploring careers in the building and related industries. Students can take part in hands-on demonstrations, operate equipment, and participate in learning labs hosted by industry partners.

Wind down the workday at a Chamber Fun@5 networking social designed for easy conversation and new connections. Expect a welcoming atmosphere with beverages and appetizers provided, plenty of chances to grow both personal and professional networks, and a casual setting focused on relationship building. Registration is required and indicating interest or going on Facebook does not complete registration. Attendees must be 21 or older. Pricing is free for members with online registration, $10 for members at the door, $20 for non-members with online registration, and $25 for non-members at the door.

An inclusive open mic welcomes musicians at any stage, from first-time performers to seasoned artists exploring new material. The focus is a supportive, growing community of musicians where no invitation or RSVP is required to participate. Hosted by Caleb Delaney, the session is guided with care and includes instrumental backing when needed.

Test your music knowledge at THE CHATTERBOX with Caleb and Emily during a live Name That Tune showdown. Tracks from a wide range of genres and decades will play, and participants race to identify each song. Be the first to get your answer to the bar and you will earn a chance to spin the prize wheel for prizes. The grand prize is two tickets on the Chatterbox Packers Bus Trip to see the Packers take on the Dallas Cowboys, with game tickets and bus transportation included. Several qualifiers will be drawn at each event, and one winner will be selected to receive the bus trip package. You must be present at the end of the night to qualify, and you must be present when the winner is announced to claim the prize.

A new once-a-month Friday karaoke night is launching at Treu’s. Erin will be behind the bar and Abrielle will be at the booth.

Hosted by the Emmett Strong Sunshine Foundation, this third annual blood drive focuses on childhood cancer awareness at the Boys & Girls Club of the Wausau Area. Donations collected support people facing emergencies, surgeries, cancer treatments, and blood disorders. One donation can help multiple patients, and the last two years reached record totals, motivating an even greater effort this time. Beyond the lifesaving impact, the event offers a welcoming community setting with free childcare provided at the venue, a selection of food, information tables from local support organizations, and booths featuring businesses that back children and families affected by cancer. The day centers on hope, support, and making a meaningful difference together.
