At Tuesday’s Common Council meeting, Destination Sturgeon Bay floated a trial balloon to extend the Under the Stars Night Market through October. Marketing and Events Director Carly Sarkis says business participation continues to increase, and so do the crowds. After the group had to cancel Harvest Fest, the night market provides an opportunity to bring traffic to the downtown area safely. Sarkis hints that there are already plans for next year.

Destination Sturgeon Bay hosted the annual citywide sidewalk sale on July 30th, another safe event, with west waterfront businesses doing especially well. Sarkis says that with retail closed for several months, this year’s sale was important to clear inventory that shoppers couldn’t access easily during the spring.
