Sputnikfest
Manitowoc, Wisconsin
In September 1962, a chunk of glowing debris from Sputnik 4—one of the first Earth-orbiting satellites, launched by the Soviet Union—fell from the sky onto a street in downtown Manitowoc. The Russians reclaimed the piece, but the town hosts an annual festival to commemorate its arrival. Highlights: a Miss Space Debris contest—costumes made out of aluminum foil are common—and an Artta This World art fair.
