On Saturday, Sturgeon Bay’s Harvest Fest will take over 3rd Avenue in celebration of the fall season ahead!

Third Avenue will be closed from Jefferson Street to Pennsylvania Street.
The official "Tapping of the Oktoberfest Firkin" by Mayor Ward will take place at noon outside of Starboard Brewing Company at 151 N. 3rd Ave. The fun continues at 1 pm with a Stein Holding Contest - entry is $20, and all participants get to take home a clear glass stein. Following that, kids can join in the fun with a Root Beer Holding Contest at 2 pm, and then the Beer Puppeteer will take the stage at 3 pm.
As the evening approaches, head down to Martin Park on South 3rd Avenue to get one last look at this year’s beautiful street art projects.
