Safety zone established for air show on Wisconsin River in Wausau

The Coast Guard is creating a temporary safety zone on the navigable waters of the Wisconsin River in Wausau, Wisconsin. This area will be closed to all vessels and persons from June 25 through June 27, 2026, during specific afternoon and evening hours.

Why it matters: This action prevents boat traffic from interfering with a scheduled air show or getting caught in potential safety hazards like falling debris or low-flying aircraft. For most of the public, this is a minor inconvenience if you plan to be on that specific stretch of river during those three afternoons and evenings.
