The official peak of fall colors has passed in Door County, but as the bright-colored leaves litter the ground over the coming weeks, the breathtaking beauty of Door County in fall continues. The County is home to many inspiring vistas, where you can see for miles and really take in the colors. This year we appreciate it even more.
With Halloween approaching, followed by the always-stunning slide into the Holiday season, there is a lot to do in Door County, and the weather still allows for plenty of outdoor activity. In this issue, we’ve got some ideas for a Door County fall visit to make the most of the fall season.
Halloween In Door County
Many parents who live in more populous areas have already had to inform their kids that Halloween is more or less canceled this year. Trick-or-treating on the streets and typical Halloween parties just don’t fit into our current protocols. Well, Door County is here to save your Halloween!
Door County Libraries will be handing out pick-up craft kits for the kids, and our Sister Bay Lion’s Club will be handing out candy drive-through style on October 31st from 6 to 7:30. Also, don’t forget about “The Park After Dark” at the Sister Bay Waterfront.
There are several more socially-distanced, creative events planned on the Peninsula that can get your kids a taste (literally) of a normal Halloween. Here is a great round-up:
