Petoskey’s Summer Send-Off

Aug. 12, 2023

We’re not ready to say good-bye to summer yet, but that doesn’t mean we want to miss the party at downtown Petoskey’s Summer Send-Off. This three-day celebration spans Aug. 18-20 with a slew of activities for all ages. Friday, catch several live music performances—including Sean Miller as part of the Charlotte Ross Lee Concerts in the Park and Al Bettis with the Blissfest Sounds of Summer Series—and enjoy The Super Mario Bros. Movie playing in the park. Saturday, Beards Brewing marks their 11th anniversary with a day of games, a special beer release, and music artists Great Lakes Brass, Charlie Millard Band, and The Go Rounds. And throughout the weekend, participate in a scavenger hunt with local retailers by picking up a Sunset Passport and seeking out summer sunset photos around town. Turn your passport in at the end of the weekend for a chance to win one of three $500 Downtown Dollar prizes. Get the full schedule of events at petoskeydowntown.com.
