Holiday Music Motel is real motel. And it's also a community of musicians, songwriters and other creatives, named for the home of Steel Bridge Songfest and other annual collaborative songwriting events going back to 2005.
Steel Bridge Songfest, celebrated on the second Saturday in June, was founded to raise preservation awareness for the historic Michigan Street Bridge in Sturgeon Bay.
Dark Songs (originally Edgar Allan Polka Fest, now "Tamboween") roughly coincides with Halloween, and is centered around creating dark, spooky music and songs.
Love On Holiday (currently on hiatus) takes place in February (around Valentines Day) as a visual art and songwriting collaboration, bringing in artists and their visual works to inspire the songs.
The namesake motel is a lovingly "retrovated" classic in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin -- a unique, musician-friendly lodging venue, open to the public and dedicated to nurturing and vitalizing the local music and arts scene.
