The S.S. Badger car ferry will begin its 2021 season later this month with a ceremony at the Manitowoc dock.
Students in the band programs at Manitowoc Lincoln, Lutheran, and Roncalli High Schools will be on hand on May 20th, performing a march that was composed specifically for the 150th anniversary of the City of Manitowoc. Mayor Justin Nickels will also speak at the event, which will occur shortly after the Badger docks at around noon.
The car ferry will then depart on its maiden voyage of the season at 3:00 PM.
In celebration of the first sailing this season, and the first sailing under new ownership, Interlake Maritime Services has arranged a firework show, scheduled for 8:30 p.m. on the Manitowoc lakefront, and is expected to last approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
Those wishing to view the fireworks are invited to do so anywhere on the Manitowoc shoreline.
