The Buzz -- One of the best ways to introduce yourself to this friendly town is by attending La Crosse Days, a festival that celebrates life in the downtown district with live music, guided walking tours, and free trolley rides. The event allows the town and its citizens to show visitors why La Crosse has received numerous awards for a revitalized downtown area, including being recognized as a "Great American Main Street" and "Best Revitalized Downtown in Wisconsin."
