A tradition you may remember from yesteryear returns to Ellison Bay Community Park this Sunday. Teaming up with Door County North, the Ellison Bay Service Club is bringing back Ellison Bay Day in the Park and Parade for community members and visitors to enjoy. In the eight years since the last time a summer festival parade was held in Ellison Bay, similar events like Olde Ellison Bay Days, Uncork Summer Food Wine and Music Festival, and Ellison Bay Go Hog Wild have come and gone. After taking a year off to regroup, Ellison Bay Service Club Board Member Maureen Mercier says they hope to bring something new with a sense of nostalgia back to the area.

 The festival will include live music, food, drinks, a vintage car show, and kids activities from noon to 5 p.m. The event was originally scheduled for Saturday with an extra two hours planned and included a morning parade. Thunderstorms in the forecast changed those plans, postponing the festival portion until Sunday and canceling the parade. 

NOTE: This interview was done on Wednesday evening before some changes to the event were made.
