No matter where you live in Door or Kewaunee counties, you will not have to travel too far or wait too long to celebrate Independence Day. The celebrations begin on Wednesday when Fish Creek hosts a fireworks celebration. That kicks off three straight days of fireworks with Kewaunee, Egg Harbor, and Maplewood lighting up the sky on July 3rd and Sturgeon Bay, Baileys Harbor, Gills Rock, and Washington Island launching on July 4th. Destination Sturgeon Bay’s Alexa Soto says that while plenty of fireworks will be launched from a barge on the water, there is even more going on as part of their Fourth of July celebration.

Fans of floats, bands, and candy will be treated to the traditional doubleheader of parades beginning at 10 a.m. in Baileys Harbor and 1:30 p.m. in Egg Harbor, though a parade of boats is also being planned for Gills Rock at 7:30 p.m. Sister Bay will hold its Freedom Fest fireworks on July 12th.
