Festivals abound. This weekend, Ellison Bay and Egg Harbor become epicenters of weekend-long festivities. What better time then to spend your weekend away from the crowded shops and commuter traffic? While you’re at it, make your way up to Washington Island for some community theater and, since you’d miss the ferry, spend a night under the stars at the Washington Island Campground.

Dead Horses @ Woodwalk Gallery
Milwaukee-based Americana trio Dead Horses is led by the soulful lyrics of frontwoman Sarah Vos. Repeat visitors to Door County, Dead Horses released their sophomore album, Cartoon Moon, in 2016. The show begins at Woodwalk Gallery in Egg Harbor at 5:30pm.
Steadfast Women/Iron Men
Written by Gayle Johnson, Steadfast Women/Iron Men depicts early life on Washington Island while it was being settled. Join the Islanders in this community theater piece meant to bring us together through the shared need to find a home. Plan to spend the night on the Island if attending, as the last ferry runs before the play is over. The play runs approximately 7:30 – 9:30 pm.
