It looks like there is going to be yet another reason to enjoy heading to Northwest Michigan for your Fourth of July celebrations.
The
city of Charlevoix will be hosting for the first-time ever an "Up North Fourth," which will take place July 2 at the city's award-winning East Park. The event will feature a picnic, which will include an impressive 10 varieties of beer offered by Short's Brewery. In addition, there will be some backyard favorites that include ribs to pulled pork to potato salad to some less-than-typical picnic fare like mouth-watering whitefish tacos.
The festivities will kick off at 4 p.m. and will include live music by Delilah DeWylde and the Lost Boys as well as Euforquestra. Entertainment will also include hula hoop performers and African hand-drumming ensembles.
General admission tickets will be $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Kids under five will be admitted for free. To add to the thirst-quenching Short's Brewery Experience, add another $20 per person and you'll be treated to a commemorative pint glass and five 7-ounce pours of premium suds.
The event will run until 8 p.m.
Advance tickets can be purchased at Ga Ga For Kids and the Chamber of Commerce in downtown Charlevoix or can be purchased online
here.
