Roofing of the Goats Parade and Festival

Roofing of the Goats Parade and Festival is one of the most iconic and beloved traditions in Sister Bay, celebrating the village’s Scandinavian roots. Held each summer, the event features a festive parade followed by the ceremonial placement of goats on the roof of the historic Al Johnson’s Swedish Restaurant. With live music, family-friendly activities, and plenty of local charm, the celebration draws visitors from across the Midwest. It’s a must-see cultural experience for anyone visiting Door County during the summer season.
