The Door County Historical Society put on their 9th Annual Door County Root Beer Festival, and had cars flooding the parking lot throughout the entire five hour festival. 

Between the calming polka music, the food trucks and businesses providing food during the festival, and all the root beer centric activities, the festival had something for everyone. Door County Historical Society Executive Director Amy Frank said the reason this was put on was because of the rich history in Door County of root beer, and it was an opportunity for families to go to a festival that was available for all ages. 

The festival had so many activities that they had to use up the entire stretch of Heritage Village at Big Creek, which included behind the general store where there were “Root Beer Flights” where people could taste test different types of root beer, and then cast their vote for their favorite. 

The Door County Historical Society puts on many events like this throughout the summer season, with the dates and times on their website. Much like this festival, the events are family oriented, and Frank said they are hoping to have even more opportunities to expand local educational learning for the interested families.
