The Steel Bridge Creative Foundation has released the official lineup for Steel Bridge Day 2026, continuing a Door County tradition that blends live music, community gathering and local arts in downtown Sturgeon Bay.  The day also coincides with the event's 20th anniversary.

Steel Bridge Day 2026 is scheduled for Saturday, June 13 throughout downtown Sturgeon Bay, with full programming centered on the free afternoon stage at Martin Park and the ticketed evening concert at MUSE Sturgeon Bay.

The lineup announcement comes as the annual event continues to grow, drawing regional and touring artists to Door County each summer while highlighting the area’s historic Steel Bridge corridor and its surrounding cultural venues.

Afternoon performances will be held at Martin Park and remain free to the public, featuring live music alongside food and beverage vendors.

Since its inception, Steel Bridge Day has served as a grassroots showcase for singer-songwriters and experimental musicians, reflecting Sturgeon Bay’s role as a hub for independent arts in northeastern Wisconsin. Organizers say the event’s dual-format structure, with a free outdoor afternoon stage and an intimate ticketed evening show, is designed to broaden access while supporting touring artists.

Several artists from the lineup have ties to Door County, or the local music scene, notably Pat mAcdonald, a longtime Sturgeon Bay resident and key organizer of the festival. Ruby James frequently performs in the Door County music scene and at Steel Bridge events, as does Three Springs, a band deeply rooted in the local Door County area.
