The big game day celebrations are at Johnsonville Tailgate Village
With Lambeau Field at Ashwaubenon’s heart, the village’s biggest events are Green Bay Packers games and the celebrations and tailgating that accompany them. One of the most popular destinations for gameday festivities is Johnsonville Tailgate Village, right next to the stadium.
However, this is more to do than Packer-related events. The Ashwaubenon Blast doubles as a reunion for Ashwaubenon High School graduates and an annual carnival for the village’s children. Artstreet is a yearly celebration of local artists that features three days of art, live music and local food vendors.
The Green Bay Metro and two interstates make for a variety of travel options
Sidewalks line some residential streets close to Lambeau Field and other commercial corridors, though others lack walking space. The village is served by the Green Bay Metro, which services stops throughout the area and connects residents to the rest of the Greater Green Bay region. Interstate 41 runs through Ashwaubenon, and Interstate 43 lies just east, so drivers have two ways to reach downtown Milwaukee, which is 116 miles south. The Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport is on the east side, giving residents access to long-distance flights. The area’s primary health care system is Bellini Hospital, a certified Level II Trauma Center.
Weather doesn’t interrupt daily life
According to FBI crime data, most of Ashwaubenon’s crime rates are commonly lower than state and national rates. There were no significant changes in trends over the past ten years.
Environmental data indicates that Ashwaubenon’s air quality is worse than that of most of the state’s other cities. With the Greater Green Bay region sitting on the shores of Green Bay 20 miles west of Lake Michigan, the Lake Effect brings harsh, snowy winters to the city. “The snow doesn’t stop us,” Kardoskee says. “We still go outside and play in the snow or ice skate.” Still, Kardoskee says people enjoy it when warmer weather arrives, and new life is breathed into the village. “Summers are pretty mild. They can get a little humid, but people don’t really complain. They just enjoy being out and about.”
