Another HarborFest is in the books, and this years iteration was just as good as ever – in spite of Fridays thunderstorms! The HarborFest crew and volunteers arriving for take
down on Sunday were greeted by a partial rainbow over the grand stage;
a beautiful reward for another amazing Harborfest weekend. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped us make the community a better place in the future for others!
After a fantastic opening evening from the Marquette Symphony Orchestra and Marquette Rockestra on Thursday, Friday started with same amazing music from Beechgrove & Blacksmith at 4PM. Rain began before they started, and lightning prevented their finish; unfortunately the storms scuppered the rest of the evenings performances. Thankfully, BareNaked 90’s stuck around an extra night to kick Saturday off at noon and bookend the day with tribute bands! Ramble Tamble then took the stage for some radical surf-rock action at 2:30, followed by some Nashville-style country from Marquette native Luke Ogea at 4:15.
Throughout the day, the bounce house zone was in full swing, faces were being painted, beer was flowing, food/snack vendors were busy and S.A.I.L. was running their cornhole tournament!
Tom Katalin & Highway 41 took the stage at 6:30 for some more country/rock and roll, before 9PM when USED CARS let the good time’s roll on for the grand finale of the weekend event with a packed crowd sitting, standing, and dancing in the grass in front of the stage!
