Your festival event guide for Michigan’s Upper Peninsula (U.P), including such cities as Marquette, St. Ignace, Munising, Escanaba, Iron Mountain, Manistique and Mackinac Island.
Welcome to a comprehensive festival listing page for Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Once area festivals are confirmed on the main Michigan Festival Guide, they are copied over to this page to make it easier to plan your weekend festival adventures. Please keep in mind that you should not see area festivals that have been canceled or have not yet been confirmed.
Another area of Michigan with a Festival Schedule Page is the Detroit Area.
Festivals listed here include music festivals, art festivals, food festivals, town festivals, church festivals, cultural festivals and more, but they do not include craft shows, machinery shows, bazaars, county fairs and some other events. Feel free to contact me if you have a question about your event.
“My Review” means that it’s a link to my review of that festival.
