Summertime means outdoor arts and crafts fairs, and communities in Manistee County often include these fairs as part of their festivals.

Summer’s not over yet and there are summer bargains to be found all weekend during downtown Ludington’s Sidewalk Sale Days in early August.
Summertime and music just go together perfectly and at the Village Green in the center of Pentwater, the evening is simply charming.
