The Sturgeon Bay Visitor Center has released a calendar of eleven events the tourism group will sponsor in 2012. The only change from last year is the Halloween parade, “Thrills on Third”, on Saturday October 27th. Trick or treating on Third Avenue will follow the parade. Everything begins in February with Fire & Ice 2012. About a month later, the annual Saint Patrick’s Day parade will make its way from west to east downtown. During three days in April, the popular Groovin’ Sisterhood Weekend will play out & in May, time will be set aside for the Fine Art Fair. On the 4th of July, Sturgeon Bay will join the rest of the nation celebrating Independence Day with ice cream & fireworks. Ten days later, it will be time for the Jazz on Jefferson Street Festival. As the month of July comes to an end, you’ll be able to Sail Through the Avenues at the annual sidewalk sale. In August, it will be time for West Fest, & on September 22nd, folks will not only take part in the Harvest Festival & Harvest Moon Celebration, but the street art auction as well. The holiday tree lighting ceremony & Christmas by the Bay in November are signs that the holiday season cannot be too far away. The event also closes out the season of promotions sponsored by the Sturgeon Bay Visitor Center.
