The 2021 Fall Lighthouse Festival, running Oct. 1-3, includes air, land-based, boat and adventure tours that reach all 11 of Door County’s lighthouses and three to the south. Many of the tour excursions take place only during the Lighthouse Festival and provide exclusive access to several structures that are not typically open to the public, including the Chambers Island Lighthouse, Kewaunee Pierhead Lighthouse and Plum Island Range Lights.

Tours are available for all levels of activity and accessibility: Some involve hiking; others take place in the comfort of a Door County Trolley. Boat tours depart from a variety of locations, including Sister Bay, Fish Creek, Gills Rock and Baileys Harbor.​​​​ Several tours are already sold out, so reserve your tickets now!
