Boat Night is here, and there are plenty of Blue Water Fest activities happening throughout downtown Port Huron.

Several roads are blocked to accommodate the festival’s new footprint, and visitors can expect most activities this year to be around McMorran Plaza, in the Blue Water Transit parking lots, and along Huron Avenue between Superior Street and Quay Street.

A Little Something’s Chalk the Street competition continues today on Huron Avenue between Grand River and Quay with judging scheduled for 5:30 p.m. The winners will be announced at 7:00 p.m. in front of A Little Something.

The Family Fun Tyme carnival starts at 3 PM in the east Blue Water Transit lot, and there are also food trucks and vendors around McMorran Place. Wristbands for one day of unlimited rides cost $30.

Around 80 vendors will be set up on Huron Avenue for a Street Fair featuring local artists and it will be open from 4-9 PM.

There will also be live music in several locations throughout the downtown in the evening including McMorran Plaza, the west Blue Water Transit lot, and The Lot at 4th & Water Street, the home of an outdoor seating area featuring food and treats by Flying Taco food truck, McCallums Orchard, and Here’s the Scoop.

Enjoy your Friday at Blue Water Fest, and have a safe Boat Night!
