Electric forests and art parks and light parades, oh RockStock...

So good to be back, Muskegon - and, as usual, you've got plenty going on to keep me entertained and excited about life here in Skee-Town. I had the most amazing day and night out and about the Port City area that didn't even involve big planned events, which I'll tell ya about later, but first, some of the major activities going on:
Muskegon Art in the Park, that annual downtown favorite featuring exciting street performances, yummy food, and, well, arts and crafts, takes place at Hackley Park from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. There's really not a better event for people-watching...
Except maybe the Electric Forest Festival in Rothbury (which is in Oceana County, but people go through, and often check out, Muskegon on the way to and from it), which includes a stellar lineup of national acts and brings in people from all around the country for music, relaxation, excitement, and surprises. Electric Forest also features art installations and an intricate, lavish light display by night...
If you'd rather watch a grandiose light display on water, the inaugural Muskegon Lake Effect Lights Boater Cruise will parade a group of boats through Muskegon Lake from the breakwater pier to Shoreline Inn starting at 9:45 p.m. ... This is bound to be a gorgeous new tradition...
But it's not the only exciting Skee-Town tradition to take part in: Muskegon RockStock will be going on all day, from noon-11 p.m., showcasing a bevy of local and regional talent. The festival, in its fifth year, moved from Hackley Park to Heritage Landing to fill the void left by Muskegon Summer Celebration. Tickets are only $5...
Of course, you may just want to chill out after a long, hot week. The beaches on Lake Michigan and Muskegon Lake are ready for ya, and the water temperature in both lakes is perfect for cooling off and relaxing...
Once again, so happy to be back in our summer paradise. Counting my lucky stars to live in such a gorgeous, welcoming place...
See ya out living it up or slowing it down.

So many people complain about the Port City, but one really can't beat it for raising families and inexpensive entertainment. Thank you for highlighting the positive about our West Michigan beach town!
ReplyDeleteSo true, Teresa! I've thought about it, and I think it's just easier to complain than to use a little imagination and search out the positive ... but more and more people are doing both of these things :) Thank YOU for reading and sharing your thoughts!
