On September 5, 1962 a 20 lbs. piece of Russian Sputnik IV landed in the middle of the street on the corner of N. 8th and Park. Sputnikfest is a way to celebrate all things sci-fi and space with live music, food, a 5k run/walk, and elaborate alien-themed costumes.
This event is one of Manitowoc’s most iconic events, drawing in people from all over the country. All are welcome to come and get wacky!
More than a place to dock your boat: We offer an incredible facility complete with full retail store, the most comprehensive service facility on Lake Michigan, and we are just steps away from downtown Manitowoc offering great dining and nightlife with small town charm.
