  • Cedar Grove was originally settled along the shore of Lake Michigan by hardy and determined Dutch pioneers. Many of their descendants remain in the area today. The village relocated to its present site, about one mile inland, when the railroad came through. Every year the town remembers its Dutch heritage with a two day celebration. Holland Festival is held in Memorial Park during the last Friday and Saturday in July. The festival is strongly family oriented with various ethnic foods and a variety of music. Before the Saturday afternoon parade the main street is scrubbed by children and adults dressed in traditional Dutch costumes in order to prepare the road for the Klompen Dansers and parade to follow. Holland Festival is a great family event with a small town atmosphere. To see all the things there are to do and see visit the official web site: http://www.hollandfest.com/ On September 9, 2006 Cedar Grove, WI was featured in Subdivision (Prison Break episode)Subdivision, an episode of the Fox series, Prison Break. Escaped inmate Charles Patoshik found himself in the small town where he ended up in a blind woman’s home who mistook him for her son. The woman had a painting of the Netherlands on her wall (a reference to the town’s Dutch heritage) which the inmate stole because he thought it looked like a beautiful place to live. The filming of the episode did not take place in the town but the sheer mentioning of such a little village came as a surprise to all current and former residence.
