The Fish Creek Winter Festival Celebrates Winter in Door County

The streets of Fish Creek are once again hopping as the Winter Games begin. Feb. 5-7, 2010

After lying dormant for three months, the streets will fill with people from all over the Midwest, shaking off those winter blues. Another year of shenanigans rolls out for locals and tourists alike, as we celebrate the mere fact that it’s cold, snowing and we are all equally bored by the doldrums of  long Wisconsin winters.

People of all ages flock to Fish Creek to eat, drink and spend the weekend participating in some of the wackiest adventures you’ve ever seen.
