1st Annual Makers Trail Festival on Weko Beach
Meet our makers on the beach at the 1st Annual Makers Trail Festival at Weko Beach!
Every land has its makers. Crafters of furniture. Forgers of steel. Tillers of the earth. In Southwest Michigan, ours are masters of making wine, beer and spirits. June 9, we are bringing these makers and their amazing craft beverages to Weko Beach -- one of the most spectacular festival beaches on Lake Michigan.
We will pop corks, tap kegs, mix and pour your picks from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m., giving you the chance to enjoy a spectacular sunset while you taste something new, then try another and another. Or, stick to drinking your local go-to favorites. Your DD can stay hydrated with lots of refreshing water, juices and sodas.
Dance or chill to your kind of music. We have stacked the lineup with some of the best music makers in the region to pump out danceable beats all festival long at no extra charge - check out this lineup:
Billy Strings (Headliner!)
James Neary and the Bevy Blue
StarHeart
The Andrew Fisher Quartet
The Undertaker Blues Band
