EVENTS
As the Arts and Culture Alliance of Manistee County, we invite you to check out what's happening in our area. There are many historical museums and markers to see, along with informational, self-guided tours. Our area is rich with musical culture, and in the summer there are many opportunities to check out live music all week long. These concerts take place in beautiful settings like 1st Street Beach in Manistee, the Asiala Log Cabin in Kaleva, the Jaycees Bandshell on the river in Manistee and in the serenely wooded Dickson Township Park. Check out everything we have to offer!
The majority of these events are not owned or hosted by the Arts & Culture Alliance.
The ACA supports these activities and is happy to promote events of our members.
If you would like your event here, please contact us or join as a member today.
