Since 1918, the Sheboygan Symphony has been a spotlight to Sheboygan County by providing a unique, long-running, professional orchestra. Sheboygan County is well known for its arts and culture, and the symphony offers an uplifting and captivating experience. 

“Music is one of the very few activities that we know that stimulates both sides of the brain. We are dealing with the complexity and gamut of human emotions and people all over the world feel the same emotions,” said Ernesto Estigarribia, music director/ conductor of the Sheboygan Symphony. “You don’t need a special education to understand joy. Everyone loves classical music, they just don’t know it yet.”

Sheboygan County is home to many outstanding businesses and community members, doing whatever they can to help their friends succeed and achieve their goals. The Green Bicycle Co., founded by Heather Cleveland in 2020, has a significant mission of doing just that. 

Through community projects and business consulting, the Green Bicycle Company is making moves to improve the connection between our local government and the people of Sheboygan County. By emphasizing sustainability in long-term investments in the people, the county’s businesses are looking to get more involved in community organizations, such as sponsoring Little League teams or school clubs. The Green Bicycle Co. is helping the community form stronger, lasting relationships between clubs, organizations, businesses, and individuals.

“I think Green Bicycle Company really fills an important gap in Sheboygan as well as society in general. It really gives an opportunity for people to step back and really reconsider their role in the community and how they want to participate,” said Barbara Alvarez, Community Educator at Green Bicycle Company “This isn’t a one-way street…we want to hear from the community, and we want to know what matters to people.  We want to know why people live in Sheboygan County and what they’d like to see to make this place even better.”
