Door County’s Most Popular Winter Festival This Weekend in Fish Creek, Feb 5-7

Posted on 03. Feb, 2010 by Stephen Kastner in Festivals and Events

Fish Creek’s Annual Winter Festival provides the antidote to cabin fever with good food, good beer and good times.

Gigantic kites flying over the Bay, wacky outdoor games, a festive party tent, chili cookoff, Door County Idol Contest, ice carving competition, live  music and much more – this is the event locals look forward to all winter.There are all sorts of fun activities for people of all ages taking place all around town and a free trolley running throughout Festival days to connect them.

Not only will the popular heated tent be back at Clark Park and a parade at 10:30 am on Saturday, but this year marks the introduction of a new Sunday morning sports event: Door County’s 1st Costumed 1/53 Marathon Run. Here’s the complete schedule…
