Come hang out with us for live music. We'll be serving wine, seasonal cocktails, cider, coffee, and tapas-style small plates to share. Bring your crew or show up solo — Dune Bird is that kind of place.

This is a free event — no reservation required. Seating is first come, first served.

Author and professor Christopher Schaberg will share what he has learned from two decades of fly-fishing and how these lessons can be applied to our modern, fast-paced, hyper-connected lives.

Accessible for those new to the activity, but of use for experienced fly-fishers as well, Schaberg will demystify the sport and offer creative ways to think about this decidedly slower way of inhabiting waterscapes and interacting with non-human species.

Come on out for Live Music at the Vineyard, where the vines set the stage and the good times come naturally.

At French Valley, we’re pouring wine, beer, and cider in a space that’s made for everyone—families, friends, and anyone looking to kick back and stay awhile."

Join The Kingsley Folk School at Kingsley Branch Library for a relaxed, no-prep storytelling community circle. Inspired by NPR’s The Moth, the Everyone Has a Story series invites you to simply show up and share—no scripts, no pressure. Just real moments from your life, told in the moment.

Together, we’ll listen, laugh, reflect, and connect with neighbors through the power of spontaneous storytelling.

Participants are welcome to speak for up to 5 minutes, or simply come to enjoy the stories and the sense of community.

This gathering happens on the second Thursday of every month from 5:30–7:00 p.m. at the Kingsley Branch Library.

Event is free and open to all, with no registration required.

For more information or to request reasonable accommodations, please call the Library at 231-263-5484 or follow us on Facebook.

Enjoy a captivating performance in the Art Park's unique forest amphitheater with The Blue Water Ramblers.

The Blue Water Ramblers represent the best of the Americana/Folk Music Tradition. They perform in the time-honored stylings of a string band - writing and singing traditional music with modern themes. The Ramblers' repertoire comes right out of their Michigan life experiences of the last fifty years. Their hero, Woody Guthrie, would approve because they're singing the peoples' songs, about the peoples' lives - and they can join right in. To quote the Grand Rapids Press: "The Ramblers deep love for good music and the people who attend their shows is evident throughout their performance!"

Arrive early to allow for the 1/4-mile hike to amphitheater.

Advanced Ticket Purchasers - your reservation will be confirmed at the Will-Call table when you arrive.

Concert starts promptly at 7:00 PM

Seating is rustic, bring a chair, cushion, or blanket if you’d like!

If inclement weather, we will hold the event indoors at Crystal Mountain.

American Tree is an exhibit that explores the role trees played in the formation of the United States 250 years ago — and the role trees will play moving forward into this nation’s next 250 years. This exhibition features the work of 28 artists. Set in Glen Arbor — named Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation in February 2026 — the exhibit celebrates trees in a wide variety of media, styles, and materials. It interprets the pivotal role trees played in the history of this nation.

At the same time, American Tree is an exhibition that asks what our relationship with the forests and woodlands looks like today? Is it purely transactional and commercial? Is there respite and renewal to be found in the woods? And what is our blueprint for the forest ecosystem in the next two centuries? What does a United State of Trees look like? Why should we care?

Monday thru Friday: 9am – 3pm
Saturday: 12pm – 4pm
Sunday: 12pm – 4pm
