World’s Largest Outdoor Archery + Music Festival Returns To Wisconsin Slopes
If you haven't heard of Bowfest, you've been missing out. Bowfest is a four-day 3D archery and outdoor music festival. You can shoot the targets on several different courses that go up and down the mountain.
It takes place at Mont du Lac Resort, which is right on the border of Minnesota & Wisconsin near Duluth + Superior. There are four courses for the weekend. There's the Appalachian Trail, the Western Edge, The Amazon River Basin, and the African Bush Safari.
The course is laid out up and down the ski slope. That difference in elevation brings a challenge to archers. People come from all over to experience this 4-day event.
