It’s a trend Albright sees continuing in the future. With roughly a million visitors looking to spend their money downtown, that’s helping to revitalize the city. She said Oshkosh shows no signs of slowing down, especially after its major events broke attendance records this summer. “We want people to come here, enjoy everything that Oshkosh has to offer,” Albright said. That’s something that Albright likes to hear. “We just have fewer seats, so the volume stays the same, just less people because we have less place for them to sit down.” He said summers at his restaurant are active, but it’s the city’s year-round event schedule that keeps his business buzzing. “There’s always something going on here.” “We have lots of outdoor seating along the river and there are lots of big events during the summer,” he said. He said the biggest attraction for his business is the Fox River. “It’s a big city, but kind of a little city field and there’s lots going on.” “My wife and I love Oshkosh,” Beckett said. Beckett owns Beckett’s Restaurant, a fine-dining restaurant in downtown Oshkosh. “People that come here to boat into sail into jet ski and do all of the things on the water whether that’s waterfront dining,” Albright said. She said Oshkosh attracts these festivals because it’s along the water. “So, look for 2024 for some kind of music festival, on the grounds out there.” “We are hearing that there’s something coming back next year,” Albright said. In 2020, Oshkosh’s Rock USA and Country USA festivals went bankrupt, and that left the city with a several-million-dollar void.Īlbright said that revenue is returning and plans are now in the works to bring in another event. “The economic impact of that is estimated to be around $170 million,” Albright said. That included Waterfest, Jazzfest and the biggest of them all, EAA AirVenture. She said Oshkosh is home to many events that generated revenue for the area. “They need gas for their cars, they need groceries, they need all of the things, so we really see a huge economic impact from people that come to our town.” This list of subcategories is not intended to be comprehensive: rather, it is intended to illustrate the kinds of actions that are to be filed under the Probate 'P' category. “When people are coming to town, they’re bringing their pocketbooks and they’re ready to eat and drink, they need a place to sleep,” Albright said. A Probate 'P' case number shall be assigned to estates of decedents and guardianship matters. She said summer is energizing the city’s progress, and the downtown is where event-goers are spending millions of dollars.
