You can cap off the unofficial end of summer this weekend in Sister Bay at their annual Marina Fest celebration. Billed initially as a thank-you note to the community for supporting the Sister Bay Marina, the annual festival features food, live music, and family-friendly activities on Saturday and Sunday. Marina Fest also showcases the various non-profit organizations that help the village in various ways. Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Fire Chief Chris Hecht estimates that the department has spent a portion of the last 25 Labor Day weekends serving hundreds of pancake breakfasts to hungry guests before they explore the rest of the waterfront on Saturday morning. Hecht says it is an important time for its outreach to the community and to raise important funds for needs like its planned drone purchase.

Other Marina Fest highlights include the children's boat-making station run by the Sister Bay Lions Club, its Saturday night fireworks, and its two-day arts and crafts fair. You can find the full schedule of events here.
