Dozens of storefronts and other vendors welcomed shoppers on Thursday as a part of Destination Sturgeon Bay's Sail Through The Avenues Sidewalk Sales. Tables from area businesses lined the curbs to offer steep discounts on some of their products while food trucks gave others an olfactory invitation to check out the scene on Sturgeon Bay's 3rd Avenue. Destination Sturgeon Bay's Alexa Soto says the event gave shoppers a chance to save and be introduced to local businesses they may have never known existed.

Entering the final month of the summer, the activities are still going strong in Sturgeon Bay as the city kicks off its Maritime Week festivities. Activities include the weekend-long Classic and Wooden Boat Show at the Door County Maritime Museum, the Bloodys, Brews, and Bacon event at Sonny's Italian Kitchen on August 3rd, the Coast Guard Person of the Year and Mariner Award Dinner on August 5th, and the U.S. Coast Guard Picnic on August 9th.
