Experience Blissfest! Folk & Roots’ Music Hidden Gem in Harbor Springs this July

Summer in Northern Michigan is unmatched. When you combine it with three days of music, art, food, and camaraderie across 200 acres of woods and fields, just minutes away from the coveted Sturgeon Bay Beach, you’ve found Blissfest.

The 43rd annual Blissfest Folk & Roots Festival takes place July 11–13 in Harbor Springs, featuring a lineup that blends legendary performers and rising stars, including Trevor Hall, Elephant Revival, Ozomatli, Lindsay Lou, Steve Poltz, JigJam, Toubab Krewe, and Bobby Alu.

You’ll also connect with incredible Michigan-based artists like Pajamas, MOLLY, Chirp, Hannah Rose Graves, Troll for Trout, and Dixon’s Violin.

Call it folk, call it roots, call it fusion—The genre is Bliss.

Throughout the day, patrons can also participate in healing arts sessions like yoga and sound baths. Festival activities also include a hands-on kids tent, crafting folkscool and musical workshops, a juried craft show, a late night silent disco, and an array of food trucks. Boredomfighters will be attending their inaugural Blissfest with their Instrument Garden Studio: for the next generation of movers, shakers, and music makers.

Come on up and camp for the weekend, come for the day, or come and go from the comfort of a local hotel or vacation rental. You’ll be hooked for life! 

The Blissfest Music Organization’s mission is to preserve traditions and promote innovators of American and world music, arts, and sustainable living through performance, education, and community participation.
