Sturgeon Bay’s West Fest

Kids dress up for last year’s West Fest’s Little Cowpokes Costume Contest.

The Annual West Fest on Sturgeon Bay’s West side business district will take place Saturday, August 21 from 10 am – 4 pm. This western themed event will be fun for young and old with most of the action on Madison Avenue between Maple and Oak Streets.

Activities will include a craft show, chili cook-off, a Gold Rush Giveaway with cash prizes, and more. John Wayne look-a-likes are invited to join the Cowboy Costume contest – prizes will be awarded for the best-dressed cowpokes!

Sample a variety of great things to eat and enjoy entertainment from local favorites the Fairland Blue Grass Band, the Bittorf Brothers and the John Welch Band filling the streets with a good mix of wild west country music.

The Door County Maritime Museum will add a little nautical flavor to the day with their Tug Fest featuring tours of the John Purves Tug, children’s model tug building, and an inflatable jump house.

Dust off your cowboy hats, don your best western duds, and check out West Fest, sponsored by Sturgeon Bay Visitor Center and Greater West Side Businesses.
