Even after the Tall Ships pulled out of town and the Door County Maritime Museum’s Classic and Wooden Boat Show packed up, you will still find plenty of nautical-themed activities over the next week in Sturgeon Bay.

The activities coincide with the city’s Maritime Week celebration, which honors its connection to the U.S. Coast Guard as the branch celebrates its 235th anniversary on August 4th.  Maritime Week festivities include the Door County Mariner Honors Dinner on August 4th, the Salute to the Coast Guard Golf Outing on August 5th, a special concert in the park on August 6th, and a picnic for active, reserve, retired, and veteran Coast Guard personnel and their families on August 8th. The post-mortem Maritime Week will occur on August 10th when Destination Sturgeon Bay hosts its fifth annual Bloody, Brews, and Bacon. A week later than usual due to the Tall Ships, Destination Sturgeon Bay’s Alexa Soto says everything you love about the event will be back.
