The Lakeshore Art Festival is a community favorite and a destination festival for summer travelers. Continuing a strong history in supporting the arts in Muskegon, the Lakeshore Art Festival is a vibrant family friendly event that spreads joy and creativity through the community.

“Living on the west coast of Michigan, there are many art shows and fairs throughout the summer in different beach towns. This one by far was the best I have been too. The variety and amount of vendors was wonderful. I felt there was something for everybody, including the kids!”
