How it started

Henry Engelhard started selling fish sandwiches in front of his house to pay his daughter’s college tuition-- his sales grew until 1978 when it became The Fish Sandwich Festival.

​

The festival still offers the original mullet sandwich made from fish caught locally. In addition to the sandwiches, there are a variety of activities to entertain the entire family all weekend long!

​

In 2013, the Festival started offering whitefish and walleye sandwiches in addition to mullet and they were an instant hit!
