One of the most unique, strange, and intriguing events in Manitowoc each year is just around the corner.
In 1962, a piece of the Russian spacecraft Sputnik IV crash-landed in the middle of North 8th Street in Manitowoc.
Each year, the Rahr West Art Museum celebrates this once-in-a-lifetime occurrence with Sputnikfest.
The 2022 iteration is scheduled for September 10th, and this year a new piece to the celebration is being added.
Registration is now open for a 5K Art Run/Walk which will begin and end at the Sputnik crash site right in front of the Museum.
To sign up for the run/walk, visit RaceEntry.com.
