60 Years of
Celebrations and Fun
Six decades ago, the Elk Rapids parent-teacher association hosted a
day-long carnival to raise money for community improvements in Elk
Rapids. The success of that event inspired the annual Harbor Days
festival ­ a four-day, fun-filled, multi-generational community celebration
that champions numerous fundraising opportunities for local service
organizations.
August 5-8, 2015 marks the 60th annual Harbor Days celebration.
Named "BEST SMALL TOWN FESTIVAL" for three years, Harbor Days
melds together the rich history, picturesque harbor, and wonderful
community of Elk Rapids.
Harbor Days 2015 kicks off Wednesday, August 5 with the ever-popular
Evening on River Street. The festival schedule combines new events with
long-time favorites and once again features activities for every age and
interest. Popular events include Kids Day, the penny scramble, Zumba
in the park, carnival rides, the festival
parade, musical entertainment, and
so much more. Harbor Days wraps up
Saturday night with everyone's favorite
Zambelli International Fireworks over
the harbor.
Set in downtown Elk Rapids, when you
visit Harbor Days you're never far from
our beautiful beaches or the culinary
delights of our many local restaurants. Enjoy the best of Elk Rapids, or
spend time at the best small town festival in northern Michigan. The
Harbor Days Association board of directors, the executive director team,
and numerous volunteers make this small-town festival a can't-miss
event for your summer calendar!
