The Inaugural Northern Lights Music Festival is slated for July 21st and 22nd at the U.P. State Fairgrounds in Escanaba. The two-day summer festival features rock and country performances, unique food vendors, and on-site camping. Musician and Escanaba Native Kevin Chown says, “with a little bit of leg work and a few of my friends, we have managed to put together the first annual music festival in Escanaba.”
Chown says, “for me personally, getting involved in this is not just about doing this one time, but it’s about building a festival that runs every year. I want to make Escanaba a permanent home to large concerts all summer long.”
Tickets for the Inaugural Northern Lights Music Festival in Escanaba go on sale on March 31st and can be purchased at northernlightsmusicfestival.com and visitescanba.com. Showtimes will be released close to the festival weekend. Patrons who purchase a ticket for Saturday’s lineup shall receive a free entry for Rock Night on Friday, July 21st, if they present a valid ticket at the gate.
