Door County Maritime Museum

Join us in saluting the local U.S. Coast Guard, and celebrate at these events!

As one of 30 official U.S. Coast Guard Cities — and the only one in Wisconsin! — Sturgeon Bay celebrates each year with a week filled with events, ceremonies, visiting ships and fun! Sturgeon Bay Maritime Week begins with an official proclamation from the City of Sturgeon Bay. We gather a variety of historic and classic wooden boats and show them off for a weekend, and challenge teams of two to build a vessel with limited materials and paddle it, without sinking! Monday evening you’re invited to the Maritime Museum in Sturgeon Bay, as we honor exceptional members of our local USCG detachments and mariners in our Door County community who’ve made a significant impact. Everyone’s invited to Idlewild Golf Course for a round of 18 holes during the annual golf outing and fundraiser for local Coast Guard families.

Mid-week, the County will salute the Coast Guard and servicemembers – active and veteran – of all branches of the military during the City’s Concert in the Park. Sail around the Bay during the Yacht Club’s sailing adventures on Thursday. Then we wrap up the week with a picnic for active duty, reserve and retired USCG and their families.

During the week, visiting USCG and training ships will host FREE to the public Deck Tours! Check DCMM’s Facebook page for ship arrival times and Deck Tour times.
