Right at the front end of the week, Suttons Bay settles into its waterfront rhythm with the Suttons Bay Art Festival at Suttons Bay Marina Park, running August 1–2. Over in Glen Arbor and the Sleeping Bear side of the map, August keeps moving at an outdoor pace. Evenings bring music you can catch in a lawn-chair way: Luke Woltanski Live @ Glen Arbor Wines on August 7, and Chris Smith Live @ Glen Arbor Wines on August 13. And by Monday, August 10, the week opens wide with The Northwestern Michigan Fair 2026 at The Northwestern Michigan Fairgrounds in Traverse City, running daily.
