SUMMARY:Sputnik Fest
DESCRIPTION:Manitowoc celebrates Sputnik Fest due to an out-of-this-world experience on September 5\, 1962 when a piece of the Soviet satellite Sputnik IV crashed to earth\, just north of downtown right in the middle of 8th Street/U.S. 10/Highway 42. It was still glowing from the heat of re-entry when it landed! A brass ring in the street notes the exact spot of impact. The city celebrates Sputnik Fest to commemorate the glowing visitor’s anniversary\, where you’ll see some interesting costumes and space-related activities. Basically at Sputnik Fest\, science fiction rules the day – even though Sputnik itself was very real. See 5 Things about Sputnikfest in Manitowoc (and why you should go) for more on that. \nCircle marks the spot where a piece of Sputnik landed. It’s the whole reason for Sputnik Fest.\nThe landing site of that piece of Sputnikfest – which inspired this whole thing – is right in front of the Rahr-West Art Museum\, which hosts the event and holds a cast from the original piece of the spacecraft – the original was returned to the Russians – that is available for viewing all year. \nThe festival draws plenty of space fans – with Star Wars and Star Trek characters well-represented – costume contests\, music\, go-kart racing down 8th Street (there’s a bit of a hill towards the heart of downtown)\, food\, drinks\, and even an “alien drop”\, where hundreds of mini-alien figures are dropped from a cherry picker – some with prizes. Even the hosting group\, the Rahr-West Art Museum\, calls it a “wacky tacky” weekend. Music from bands like Bazooka Joe add to the fun! Family fun continues with the Cosmic Kids Creation Station\, which offers tye-dye\, clay painting\, and rocket building\, plus live statues\, portrait paintings\, and more. \nSputnikfest Schedule of Events:\n11:00-2:00PM      DJ\n11:30AM              Photo Op with Sputnikfest Police (courtesy of the Masquers theater company)\n12:00-5:00PM      Art Space and Children’s Games\n12:00-Noon          5K Art Walk/Run (register at: https://runsignup.com/Race/WI/Manitowoc/Sputnikfest5KWalkRun)\n1:00-3:00PM         Meet and Greet with 501st Wisconsin Garrison\n12:00PM               Lakeshore 1st Robotics\n2:00-6:00PM         Musical entertainment by XPOSED 4 HEADS\n3:00PM Pet Parade and contest\n4:00PM                 Cosmic Kids Parade and contest\n5:00PM                 Captain Space Debris (Alien Adults) Parade and Contest\n6:00PM                 Alien Raffle Drop \nGet more details here. \nSputnikfest Address:\nRahr-West Art Museum\n610 N. 8th Street (8th & Park\, U.S. 10 & Business 42)\nManitowoc\, WI 54220\nWebsite \n\n\n\n \n \n \n  \nBack to StateTrunkTour.com
