Attend The Sister Bay Fall Festival In Wisconsin

In Wisconsin, fall is festival time – there are scores of awesome festivals. They are a chance to celebrate the season: bite into a sweet and crisp caramel apple, catch some hard candy thrown from a parade float, or join the festivities in an outdoor beer garden. Door County has some of the best festivals in the state, and one of the biggest and oldest can be found in the little village of Sister Bay. Here’s why you need to head north this year for Fall Fest.

Sister Bay is a small town with a population of fewer than 900 people. That changes on busy weekends, as crowds of tourists roll in. On Fall Fest weekends, the village practically explodes!

Fall Fest has been taking place in Sister Bay for a very long time – it's been going strong for more than 70 years!

Sister Bay is located near the end of the peninsula, north of Ephraim. There’s plenty of parking, and shuttles can take you right to the heart of the action.

The festival is a weekend-long event. It kicks off on Friday, and people fill the streets for great food, drinks, and live music. The lively event draws locals as well as many tourists.

Kids have a lot of fun at the fest, too. There’s a huge parade as well as a ping pong ball drop where kids scramble to grab the balls to win fun prizes.

Sister Bay Fall Fest always takes place around the peak fall colors. While the foliage peak can be hard to predict, the fest takes place in October, so there will be lots of color on the trees and in the streets!

If the weather doesn’t cooperate and there are some rain showers, the festival will still go on – stake out a spot in one of the large festival tents. Learn more about the festival, including schedule updates and times on the festival website. While you’re in Sister Bay, be sure to check out this iconic restaurant that has an unusual twist.
