Downtown Sturgeon Bay continues showing its holiday spirit this weekend. The annual Christmas by the Bay event was celebrated with a parade through the downtown featuring the Sturgeon Bay High Marching Band, floats and the first appearance of Santa Claus himself. While there was a wintry chill, parade-goers like the Scalzo family say the holiday kickoff had things work waiting for.

The Christmas by the Bay celebration concludes Sunday with breakfast with Santa at Stone Harbor Resort on 1st Av.
