With Door County having many different adult-friendly tastings and festivals throughout the summer, the Root Beer Festival put on by the Door County Historical Society is an opportunity for families to enjoy a festival that is youth inclusive.
The 9th Annual Root Beer Festival celebrates the history of root beer, and just root beer in general in a fun event meant for people of all ages. In past years, there have been opportunities for experiments while at the festival and a chance to be a blacksmith for a day. Some of the offerings this year at the festival include special presentations in the schoolhouse about the history of root beer, live blacksmith demonstrations, live music and games, root beer cookies and floats, and much more.
Admission to the event is $5 and kids 18 and under are free. Alongside all of the other events going on during the festival, guests have an opportunity to vote to determine Door County’s favorite root beer.
The event is being held at Heritage Village at Big Creek on July 8th, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
