Join in on the fun and Jacksonport tradition for Maifest on Saturday, May 24th and Sunday, May 25th. Attendees can enjoy food, music, art exhibits, fireworks, a parade and more - plus there’s some great new additions this year to look forward to!
New this year, there will be multiple local food trucks serving up delicious eats including tangy BBQ sandwiches and fresh tacos. A third band has also been added to the music lineup, giving attendees an extra opportunity to dance.
“It’s a lot of fun and is a great way to be outside, have good food, listen to music, meet people, and shop,” said Jacksonport Area Business Association Community Coordinator, Annie Geitner, “there’s so much to do and see that really you kind of have to go both days if you want to see everything.”
The event begins bright and early on Saturday with the Art Fair, featuring work of over 50+ artists. The parade will travel down highway 57 through town at 10:30 a.m. and at noon, a Memorial Day presentation of the flag by V.F.W. Post 3088 will take place followed by the Maypole Dance. The Maifest Family Midway and live music at Lakeside Park will follow.
On Sunday, the 41st annual Maifest 10K Run & 2 Mile Fun Run/Walk will start at 9 am, followed by an exciting performance by the Door County 4-H Horse and Pony Drill Team and Trick Roping Exhibition by Jesus Jauregui at noon. Next up will be the Frontier Farmers Horse Pull, a crowd favorite. The pull features draft horses for both lightweight and heavyweight competitions. As a courtesy to the teams, spectators are asked to remain silent during the pulls.
