Back to school isn’t just for kids!  Treat yourself to an evening of school nostalgia as you roam the halls of downtown Stoughton’s favorite boutiques.  

The bell rings promptly at 5pm to start off the school day!  If you forgot to pack a lunch, no need to call mom.  Wildwood Café (aka The Cafeteria) will be offering a lunch box for purchase with tasty treats and a decorate-your-own lunchbox station.   After your lunch is set, make your way down the school hallways (aka Main Street) and into the classrooms!

Each classroom will have a back to school photo booth for cringey school pics along with nostalgic eats and sips.  Make sure to pick up a Report Card in any classroom and receive an “A” grade with any purchase.  Collect three “A’s” to be entered to win a Back to School Gift Basket.  Along with an entry into the drawing, all “Triple A” students will receive a coupon for a free tasty dessert at Dairyland Dessert Café for an after-school snack.   School dismissal bell rings at 8pm!

Koselig Stoughton: A week of downtown classes for spending time with family.

Koselig Stoughton

Koselig {Koo-sh-lee} is a concept which is deeply rooted in Norwegian culture. I would describe it as the feeling of coziness and being comfortable, but it often involves being in a social setting with others rather than being alone.

The downtown merchants have created a week of classes, tastings, demos for a spending extra special time with family this year.

Parents Day Out with Covenant Lutheran Church

  • 1525 North Van Buren Street Stoughton, WI, 53589 United States (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

To help families as the busy holiday season gets underway, Covenant Lutheran Church is offering a Parents’ Day Out event. This will take place on Sunday, December 10 from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm at the church. We will provide free child care, so parents can take care of errands, shopping, and preparations. Those supervising the event have undergone background checks. They will be assisted by young people who are volunteers.

There are two requirements:  

Children must be potty trained.

Children need their own sack lunch. We want to make sure they have access to food regardless of allergies.


To save space, you need to fill out the link below. If later you need to cancel, a quick email can release the space. We will start a waiting list if there is a great deal of interest. 

We are currently capping the number of children at 25 children. If we get more volunteers to help, we may expand our numbers.


The church is located at 1525 N. Van Buren St. in Stoughton.
