Bridge Fest celebrates the birthday of the Portage Lift Bridge. This year, it was called Bridge Fest Feast, which was to be a combination of 2 separate events, that being Bridge Fest & the Seafood Fest. I must say, the weather did not cooperate, very cool & rainy, though it did keep the mosquitos down. The food offerings were not as good as in the years past, though I think the weather may have played a bigger part in it than anything.-Mezz

Mezz - We were up there the first 5 years out of school but then they had the two Fest's seperately and we missed the parade of Bridgefest, big let down. We didn't get back up there this year (we haven't done anything this summer yet), but knowing they put them back together we may just come back up. I know Seafood Fest had a whole Lobster for some unreal price of 11 bucks each or something. The last year it was much higher.
