The Music of Manistee County

Music must be in the air this weekend—or at least it is in Manistee County, where you can take your pick of three unique events to get your groove on. The Minnehaha Brewhaha Music Festival runs Sept. 1-2 in Arcadia, where talented northwest Michigan artists will perform. Local food trucks will be on-site, as will a few breweries for tastings, and campsites are available. (Tickets $25-$125; music-moves-me.org.) Head south to Manistee on Sept. 2 for Salt City Rock and Blues’ LaborFest, which celebrates the region’s rich industrial history with a slate of nine performers and 12 hours of music on the shores of Lake Michigan. (Tickets $30; saltcityrb.com/laborfest2023.) And last but not least, with a little jaunt east, you’ll catch Brethren Days, the three-day celebration from Sept. 1-3 of the village of Brethren, featuring 10 musical acts and a DJ, beer tent, parade, fireworks, 5K run, and other hometown fun throughout the weekend.
