West Bend $1,000 Cache Ba$h

 2026 West Bend $1,000 Cache Ba$h
The ultimate geocaching event returns for its 18th year and this year is going to be legendary, you betcha!

The West Bend Area Chamber of Commerce proudly presents the 18th Annual West Bend $1,000 Cache Ba$h™, a two-day mega geocaching event in the Geocaching Capital of the Midwest™. Whether you're coming from up north or just down the road, we're glad you're here! This year's theme - All things Wisconsin!  

What to Expect:

The 50 Cache Hunt: Discover 50 brand-new permanent geocaches placed throughout West Bend's most scenic trails, parks, historical landmarks, and local businesses. Each cache includes a stamp or code word - collect them in your Official Playing Card to earn raffle tickets for the prize drawings. The more caches you uncover, the more chances you'll have to win. Not to shabby, right?

$1,000 Cash Prize Drawing: Register and check in at Regner Park to earn one ticket for our big cash raffle! No Purchase Necessary! Winners will be chosen on Saturday during the prize ceremony and you must be present to win.

Cash Prizes: $500 | $250 | $100 x2 | $50

General Raffle Prize Drawing: Earn additional tickets by finding caches, completing geo-bingo, or participating in games! Prizes include geocoins, geocaching memberships, gift certificates, and more!
NEW! Cache Ba$h Poker Run: Looking for another fun way to explore West Bend during Cache Ba$h? Don't miss our brand-new Poker Run! Pick up your instructions and list of stops when you check in at Regner Park and visit participating businesses throughout the area to build your best 5-card poker hand. The Poker Run is free to play while supplies last, and the best hand will win the grand prize featuring goodies from all participating Poker Stop locations!
