Live Music in the Bayfield Wisconsin Area

Big Top Chautauqua - Lots of national and regional music performances - under a big top tent! Experience great music at Big Top Chautauqua without choking on cigarette smoke - as you enjoy the cool outdoor breezes. Beer (the Berghoff Solstice on tap is very good), soda, wine, burgers, brats, ribs and other items are served and can be consumed while you are watching the show. (We think Big Top Chautauqua bratwurst is the best we've ever tasted.)
