On one day each August, a city in Wisconsin shuts down its streets and paints the town yellow. Middleton is home to the one-of-a-kind National Mustard Museum, and the city celebrates a national holiday you might not have heard of – National Mustard Day. It’s a fun Wisconsin festival that’s like no other on Earth, and you should plan to attend. Here’s why.

Middleton has been the heart of the mustard world since 2009, when the National Mustard Museum moved to town.

It was previously located in nearby Mount Horeb, and it’s a shrine that celebrates all things mustard and mustard-related.
The museum is a big attraction in its own right, displaying thousands of mustards from all over the world and detailing the history of this favorite condiment.
