This holiday weekend, why not consider a short drive to the lakeshore community of Muskegon to attend the annual
Lakeshore Art Festival, which has been named by Sunshine Artist Magazine as one of the top 200 events in the country to visit.
This festival is home to a juried fine art show, craft fair, artisan food market, children’s activities, interactive art, and performing arts/entertainment.
And while more than 250 exhibitors will be waiting for the expected 50,000 visitors expected to descend upon this community over their two-day event, it is also an opportunity to secure a new book from a Michigan author who have been granted a special vendor-exhibition space within the Lakeshore Museum (West Clay Ave. & 4th St.) through the blessing of the Lakeshore Art Festival.
The event from Michigan Authors is Friday, July 1 (10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.) and Saturday, July 2 (10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.).
“This event is the reincarnation of a really artsy-craftsy show. The new organizer seems to ‘get’ art fairs and has an excellent background in event management and hopes to create a new higher end show,” says Constance Mettler, Call for Artists Publisher. “If you are open on this weekend and live nearby, it may be worth your time.”
Yes, summer in West Michigan means that we have a lot of choices this big July 4th holiday weekend, so why not add securing a new book from a Michigan author? You can pick one up on your way to the beach, which is just a few minutes away from downtown Muskegon.
