What’s Happening Today at Blue Water Fest

Today marks the first full day of Blue Water Fest, and the streets, vendors, and local business owners are ready for visitors.

You can start the day by watching chalk artists get started on their creations at A Little Something’s Chalk the Street Fair on Huron Avenue, and don’t forget to visit the downtown shops and restaurants.

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 McMoran Place.

Operation Transformation’s Family Night starts at 5 PM and runs until 9, and there will be games, live music, and family-oriented activities throughout the evening. Everything is free thanks to many local businesses and nonprofit organizations.

Mannequins Making a Difference will be on the Sperry’s corner at 6 PM, and the mini-mannequins will be posing from 7:30 – 8.

Fireworks at Desmond Landing are at dusk, and there are many great places to view the show throughout the city.

Enjoy your Blue Water Fest, and have fun out there!
