The First Annual Dune Jam
June 13, 2026
The Manistee Amphitheater Foundation (MAF) is fundraising for an outdoor arts and entertainment venue—dubbed The Dune—for First Street Beach/Douglas Park in Manistee. MAF is kicking off their capital campaign with the first annual Dune Jam, held Saturday, June 20, on the site of the future amphitheater. The free concert day will start at noon with The Downtowners followed by Briar Payne Band, Luke Winslow King Trio, Domestic Problems, and Joe Hertler and the Rainbow Seekers. A starlight drone show by the Great Lakes Drone Company will conclude the evening over the Manistee harbor. Plus, the Manistee Lions will be on hand from 4-7pm for their “Famous Fish Boil” ($20 donation requested). Learn more about the event and amphitheater at manisteeaf.org.
