Kick off your 2025 Cache Bash weekend by giving back to the amazing community hosting its 17th Annual Mega Event!
Join us for this year’s Cache In, Trash Out (CITO) event—where, for the first time ever, we’re taking the cleanup out of the local parks and into the vibrant heart of Downtown West Bend!
This shift marks an exciting new chapter for the Cache Ba$h weekend. With a fresh urban landscape to explore, we have the opportunity to make a visible difference in areas that see plenty of foot traffic, visitors, and community events. From Main Street and it's alleyways, to scenic stretches of the Riverwalk, your efforts will help brighten the downtown district just in time for the weekend’s main festivities.
Whether you're a longtime CITO goer or trying it out for the first time, this is a fun and rewarding way to give back to the city—while discovering a new side of West Bend you may not have seen before.
