Grapes on the River is an event hosted by the Manistee Area Chamber of Commerce and presented by Edward Jones – Jeff Reau, Grapes on the River is an event that pairs Michigan wines, brews and spirits with local culinary inspirations. Kick back and enjoy the scenic views of the river for an unforgettable tasting experience. This family friendly (even the furry ones!) event hosts live entertainment, while relaxing in the park at the Manistee Municipal Marina in the heart of Downtown Manistee.

The Grapes on the River committee has joined forces with the Downtown Manistee Merchants to have the event the same weekend as their annual Sidewalk Sales!  The streets are lined with pop-up tents, merchandise and much more!

In addition, the Catamaran Racing Association of Michigan will be racing just off the shores of Manistee on Lake Michigan on Saturday and Sunday, which you can view from First Street Beach! You can check out the photos of their adventures here!
