The story

Kewaunee Trout Festival in Kewaunee

Kewaunee Trout Festival is a summer community festival in the small Lake Michigan harbor town of Kewaunee, Wisconsin, celebrating the area's trout and salmon sport-fishing tradition. Typical programming includes a parade, family activities, and fishing-related events tied to the harbor's role as a launch point for Lake Michigan sport fishing.

Kewaunee sits on the Lake Michigan shoreline in northeastern Wisconsin, a small harbor town whose economy and identity have long been shaped by its access to the lake, historically through commercial fishing and shipping, and in more recent decades increasingly through recreational sport fishing for trout and salmon.
