Happy Harbor Days!
July 27, 2024
Harbor Days is just around the corner! July 31-Aug. 3, this hometown festival takes over the village of Elk Rapids with summer fun in the sun. You’ll find all the festival standards like the Arnold’s Amusement carnival and rides, live music and food trucks, an arts and crafts show, a parade, a boat lighting extravaganza, and fireworks. You can also compete in everything from a 5k run to an ice cream eating contest to a paddleboard race. New this year, try the Find-the-Elk scavenger hunt around town, catch Kanin Wren’s Taylor Swift Experience concert (Aug. 1), or walk in the Mutt Strut Dog Parade (Aug. 3). And don’t forget to volunteer for Clean-Up Day on Sunday, Aug. 4, after the festival concludes—you’ll get to work alongside beach cleaning robots BeBot and Pixie Drone!
