HarborFest returns to Marquette Lower Harbor

MARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) - Grab your lawn chairs and head to Lower Harbor this weekend for food, music, and fun at HarborFest 2026!

HarborFest is a fundraising event for the Marquette Harbor Rotary Club and Foundation.

Admission is free, and will feature multiple bands, a variety of food trucks, and entertainment for children.

Bryan Lopac, HarborFest’s co-chair, spoke about some of the exciting bands playing during the festival;

“This year were bringing back the 90’s tribute band that was supposed to be here last year and play, followed by a Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band on Friday night, Saturday night with The Eagles tribute band, along with many other local talents in the UP here. We like to support them as well. Great lineup this year, we’re feeling it’s one of our best we’ve ever had.” said Lopac.

The festival has been providing a final salute to summer since 1984.
