Your end-of-summer tradition returns to the Sister Bay waterfront this Labor Day weekend. Sister Bay will host its annual Marina Fest this Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, as it has for approximately 30 years. While the event features several activities such as live music, fireworks, kids’ carnival, pedal tractor pulls, and more, it is also a time when local non-profits are given a chance to shine. The Sister Bay Lions Club has many volunteers helping young children build wooden boats. The Door County Maritime Museum raffles off the wooden boat its class has worked all year on perfecting. The Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Fire Department flips pancakes every year so it can have the funds needed to properly train its members and carry the right equipment. For many local non-profits, Fire Chief Chris Hecht says this is the most face-time they get with the general public all year.

The festival started in 1993 as a thank you to the community for their help rebuilding the marina. You can click this link to find the complete schedule for this year’s event.
