Entertaining the crowds throughout the weekend is an amazing line-up of musicians including favorites Mike Snell, Tommy Foster, and Grayson Barton.

To satisfy those with a craving, food trucks will offer a variety of tasty treats. Some vendors will also offer an eclectic mix of home-made foods to take home.

This event will be great for all ages as we will also have inflatables, along with a children’s activity put together by the Arts Council of White Lake, the Montague Branch of the Muskegon Area District Library, and the White Lake Community Library.
