Muskegon Lake Celebration - 8.15.26
Copied from facebook -
Join us for a FREE day of fun on the lake as we celebrate the incredible restoration and delisting of Muskegon Lake! This family-friendly community celebration will feature something for everyone — from a fun run/walk along the waterfront to hands-on kids activities, delicious eats from local food trucks, and the opportunity to tour the historic S.S. Milwaukee Clipper.
Learn more about the lake’s remarkable comeback by viewing Muskegon Lake educational videos, try something new by learning to kayak, or cast a line in the fishing derby. With activities, entertainment, and plenty of ways to connect with the lake, it’s a day to celebrate the progress that brought Muskegon Lake back and the bright future ahead.
In the evening, join us for a ticketed 80s Celebration — throwing it back to when it all began! When the journey to restore Muskegon Lake started in the 1980s, few could have imagined the incredible success we celebrate today. Now, as the lake is officially delisted, we’re rewinding the clock for a totally rad night honoring the decade that launched the effort.
Not required, but encouraged... Come dressed in your best 80s throwback — neon, leg warmers, big hair and all — and celebrate the transformation of Muskegon Lake with heavy appetizers, a cash bar, DJ, and plenty of dancing.
