2026 Lumberjack World Championships Are Coming To Wisconsin This Summer

I remember when I was in college, my roommates and I only had basic cable for our TV, so that only meant a couple of more channels than with the antenna on the roof. The channel was pretty much set on ESPN 24/7. Back in those days, it wasn't all football, basketball, baseball, or hockey. There was some other interesting programming too. One that we totally got interested in was the Lumberjack World Championships.

According to the Lumberjack World Championships...

International competition showcasing the best sawing, chopping, speed climbing, log rolling, boom-running & more! You’ll have a darned good time! Great family fun! Yo-Ho!

Being a lumberjack or lumberjill isn't an easy job. If you want to be one of the top people in the business, you have to be strong and tough. These skills are not for the faint of heart. It's cool that the World Lumberjack Championships are held in Hayward, Wisconsin. You can even make a trip to go watch it live. This year the event is being held from July 15th through the 18th. Comedian Charlie Berens will even be there too.

There will be over 100 lumberjacks and lumberjills competing for the world title in several different categories, including chopping, sawing, speed climbing, boom running, and log rolling. These are the best of the best from around the world championships. The cool thing is it's a family-friendly event, so you can bring the kids. There's a lot of excitement, so I think they will enjoy it.
