Sun Prairie Rising (located at SunPrairieRising.com) is Sun Prairie’s source for local news. 100% local and 100% free to access, Sun Prairie Rising’s goal is to provide readers in and around the city with important updates and information about local government, schools, arts and cultural events, sports and much more!
Sun Prairie Rising is completely volunteer driven and relies on contributions from readers for content. We strive to reflect the diversity of concerns and perspectives in our community and welcome submissions of all kinds. We hope to feature original reporting, opinions and editorials (in written, video or audio form) as well as photography and information on local events. If it’s happening in Sun Prairie, we want it to be on Sun Prairie Rising!

We love hearing from readers…if you’ve got any feedback (good or bad), story ideas, or information to share on an upcoming event, let us know at the “Contact” link.
We currently partner with Donna Bemis and her publication, Sun Prairie City News, available at various businesses around town, as well as sunprairiecitynews.com.
We also repost relevant information from local Facebook groups, including Sun Prairie Politics Only Local, managed by former City Council President Bill Connors.
