STURGEON BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Door County is prepping for a jazzy summer with an inaugural music festival.
Door County will host its first-ever Jazz Festival at multiple locations in August 2025.
There will be live performances from top and new acts throughout the peninsula during the week-long festival, culminating in a weekend stage event at Sturgeon Bay’s Sunset Park on Aug. 9-10.
“Door County offers the perfect setting for a Jazz Festival, and the community’s early embrace reflects the dedication here to supporting the arts and culture throughout the peninsula,” said founder Staci Griesbach. “As one of the Midwest’s most popular destinations, my hope is to create an experience where Jazz fans from around the world can come and enjoy world-class music in attractive venues, all nestled in the local charm of this special corner of Wisconsin.”
An artist lineup is expected to be released in early 2025.
The festival is also slated to feature top Jazz ensembles and combos from the Wisconsin-based University system, such as the University of Wisconsin-Madison and University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, while also highlighting local Door County schools and music education programs.
There will be a mix of free and ticketed events.
