Sheboygan – A Fall and Winter Retreat
Air Date: 12/30/2017 - 12/30/2017
We already love Sheboygan for its gorgeous lakefront, sandy beaches and coastal vibe, but even when the leaves turn and the temperatures drop, Sheboygan has plenty of fall and winter activities to keep you busy all year long! From a scenic (and historic!) Segway tour, to craft beer, Oktoberfest and festive holiday events, there’s no doubt that Sheboygan isn’t just for summertime!
this Episode
Sheboygan
You may have heard that Sheboygan is the Brat Capital of the World, but we’re guessing that we’ll surprise you with a few things we discovered in Sheboygan. Being on Lake Michigan, sailing is a great way to spend time on the water; but did you know Sheboygan helped bring a new event to the Summer Olympics? If you want to sample Italy, we found the restaurant for you. Ever make your own soap? We’ll show you where. And when’s the best time to surf in Sheboygan – yep, we said surf. Even when the temperatures take a dip, Sheboygan has plenty of fall and winter activities to keep you busy all year round!
