Manistee’s annual Boos, Brews and Brats had traditionally been organized by the Manistee Downtown Development Authority but in 2018, the DDA decided the festival would be too difficult to plan along with the other events and tasks that they’ve yet to complete.
The Manistee Elks decided to take over the event and now hosts it in conjunction with the clubs annual community Halloween Party.
This event is open to the public. Admission is a $5 donation at the door and food/beer/seltzer tickets are $5 each. A cash bar will also be available.
