When was the last time you went to Brat Fest? It wasn't even on my radar this year.

With sunny skies and temperatures in the 70s, the weather was close to perfect for this year’s fest, whose roots date back to 1983, when the original owners of Metcalfe’s Market set up a brat fry in their store’s parking lot.
By 1999, the event had become so popular as to require a new name, the World’s Largest Brat Fest, and in 2005 it moved to Willow Island at the Alliant Energy Center, where it remains today.
This year’s featured musical acts included the 1980s heavy metal band Slaughter and the 1980s hip hop duo Kid ’n Play.
Has Brat Fest exceeded its 'sell-by' date?
