MANISTIQUE -- Downtown Manistique will be packed with people for Folk Fest this weekend.

Organizers went out to Cedar Street earlier Friday to set up for the 23rd annual festival. This year, there will be everything from food vendors, arts and crafts, and even a beer garden.

It's the third year in a row for the beer garden, and organizers say it's been a huge success.

"We try to make something for everybody, so the entire family can come down, basically come down for lunch, come down for dinner. I always say dads, but moms can too, they can come over and enjoy a cold beer after they grab something from the food vendor area," said Connie Diller, an organizer.

The festival wraps up just after midnight early Sunday morning.
