Features & Attractions

Meet the artists and see their metal, wood, tile and glass art.  Discover unique furnishings and even one of a kind artwork created from reclaimed materials.   The Cottage Art Show also showcases wooden and bark canoes, an art form that graces the shorelines of this Great Lake State.

Decorative accessories, gourmet foods, cottage décor, handcrafted items, along with Michigan-themed merchandise will be available for purchase in a “Cash and Carry” style at the Lakefront Marketplace.

Kids of all ages are invited to put their toes in the sand for the first time this season and build a sand castle at The Beach, the show’s giant sandbox.

Join Janet Moore Schrader, The Sand Pirate, and build spectacular sculptures at The Monroe Street Beach!  Janet and her team will build magnificent structures and characters perfect for photo opportunities!

Come grab a paddle and try your hand at pickleball on the full sized court at the back of the hall provided by Purchase Green of West Michigan.
