Group Tour Magazine - August 2023 - 27

More to Tour
Founded by Norwegian and Scandinavian
immigrants, communities
along Wisconsin's Door County
peninsula host fish boils, where
locally caught whitefish is boiled
with red potatoes. There, groups
can also visit two 12th-century
stave-style churches on Washington
Island and in Baileys Harbor.
There's typically a line for Swedishstyle
pancakes topped with lingonberries
at Al Johnson's Swedish
Restaurant & Butik in Sister Bay,
where goats roam the sod roof and
Scandinavian-imported items are
sold in the gift shop.
For a taste of Dutch culture, visit
Pella, Iowa, where tulips bloom in
early May during the town's Tulip
Time festival. Groups see locals
donning Dutch attire and marvel at
Dutch-style architecture (including
the Vermeer Windmill). Dutch eats
(including poffertjes, Dutch cheese,
bologna, and bakery items) are,
of course, available year-round in
restaurants and cafes.
Chalet Landhaus Inn,
New Glarus, Wisconsin
August Schell Brewing Co.,
New Ulm, Minnesota
On a visit to New Ulm, groups can see one
of the world's few remaining freestanding
carillon clock towers (the 45-foot glockenspiel's
bells chime the time of day) and tour
the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame. In late
July, the city hosts Bavarian Blast, a festival
with live music, polka dancing, and a parade.
Meanwhile, Frankenmuth, Michigan,
which was settled in 1845, is a popular destination
for those who want to experience
German culture. After all, it's dubbed " Michigan's
Little Bavaria. " Groups enjoy family-style
chicken dinners at Zehnder's of Frankenmuth
and Bavarian Inn Restaurant, and walk it off
while viewing Bavarian-style architecture,
plus new murals, around town. Frankenmuth
is a four-season destination-groups
visit during November and December for
holiday-themed activities, including shopping
at Bronner's Christmas Wonderland,
the world's largest Christmas store, attending
Frankenmuth Oktoberfest in mid-September,
or Bavarian Festival in early June.
Although more Swiss-German than
solely German, the Wisconsin village of New
Glarus is located about 25 miles south of
Madison and is named for a community in
eastern Switzerland. The downtown area
will make groups feel transported to Europe
with its chalet-style architecture and craft
brew scene. Groups can pop into New Glarus
Bakery (in business since 1910) to try birnbrot
(Swiss pear bread) and gipfel (Swiss
croissant). Annual festivals include Polkafest
(early June), Swiss Volksfest (early August),
and Oktoberfest (late September).
