The Big Bay Stewardship Council (BBSC) announces the Big Bay Fall Fest in Draver Park. This outdoor festival brings together artists, local eats, and live music.
“The BBSC is excited to celebrate fall with residents of Big Bay and visitors alike! Great things can happen when we work together as a community and collaborate with others such as Marquette County. Our event will be a wonderful town fair in Big Bay and we are looking forward to welcoming you,” says Sven Gonstead, Chairman of the Big Bay Stewardship Council.
The morning will kick off with Cars & Coffee and the Munising Bay Cruisers who will be driving their specialty cars through Big Bay’s beautiful scenery to Draver Park. Attendees can see specialty cars and chat with their owners over coffee. Kids will enjoy a bouncy house, art and a cakewalk at 2 pm. Children and their families will bring fall-themed treats to participate in the cakewalk. We will also be hosting a corn hole tournament, which will run from 11 am to 3 pm on the park grounds. The winning team will win prizes from local businesses.
Well-known Marquette Bluegrass band Strung Together will be performing live onsite from 1 pm to 4 pm. Guests can enjoy American-style BBQ and award-winning burgers from Bearded Lady BBQ. There will also be t-shirt sales and a 50/50 raffle to raise funds for the BBSC.
