Celebrating Michigan's State Stone

The 19th annual Petoskey Stone Festival

Rockhounds from across the region are headed to the 19th annual Petoskey Stone Festival, Saturday, May 17, at Barnes Park Campground in Eastport. (Fun faction: Did you know Petoskey stones are roughly 350 million years old?!) This one-day arts and craft show celebrates Michigan’s State Stone and is packed with Petoskey stone vendors specializing in jewelry, home goods like wine stoppers and picture frames, and even just beautifully polished fossils perfect for avid collectors. It wouldn’t be a proper party without a Petoskey stone hunt or rock skipping contest, and there will also be food truck vendors on-site, plus live music throughout the event. The family-friendly festival (complete with petting zoo, face painting, and kid’s trout pond!) runs from 10am to 4pm. See the full schedule at petoskeystonefestival.com.
