Makers Trail Festival

Celebrate SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN’S MAKERS AT WEKO BEACH!

SPONSORED BY THE SOUTHWESTERN MICHIGAN TOURIST COUNCIL

SPONSORED BY THE SOUTHWESTERN MICHIGAN TOURIST COUNCIL Each year, we look forward to popping corks, tapping kegs and pouring your favorite spirits ’til sunset. Come party with us at Weko Beach – with nothing but gorgeous Lake Michigan to the west – and Southwest Michigan’s premier wine, beer, cider and spirits makers all in one place. This is the perfect chance for you and your friends to try new drinks or stick with your go-to favorites using beverage tickets purchased when you arrive. There will be live music and local food favorites, too. This annual event is the party of the summer, and so don’t miss out!

Tickets

Ticket prices will be announced a few months before this year’s festival. Tickets cost more on festival day, so plan to save on cost by purchasing tickets early!Children under 10 years old get in free. Invite your friends and family to join you for a great day at the beach!

COME RAIN OR SHINE! There will be plenty of room for you under the big tents. You’re welcome to bring your own camp chairs. However, please leave your pets, coolers, drinks and food outside the gates – they’re not allowed on festival grounds. No smoking is permitted, either.
