A Fair and a Festival

July 4, 2026

Want to escape the hubbub in Traverse City this weekend? Head to the 56th annual Beulah Art Fair, held at Beulah Park (7122 Prospect Ave.) on July 11 from 10am-5pm. The village turns into an open-air gallery with artwork from painters, jewelers, sculptors, and just about every sort of artist you can imagine, all just steps away from Crystal Lake. Find more details at clcba.org/event/beulah-art-fair/#prettyPhoto. Or, if you prefer your weekend to be a bit more…fragrant, swing north to The Rusty Moose Garden and Gifts in Buckley (9753 S M37) for their 4th annual Lavender Fest, also on July 11 from 10-6pm. Expect live music, vendors, crafts, and u-cut lavender from the farm’s 4,000 lavender plants. And, of course, be sure to peruse the farm’s eclectic array of jewelry, home goods, plants, and lavender goodies! Learn more at rustymoosegarden.com.
