This will be another exciting year full of firsts. There will be new challenges and changes to consider, but together with your help, we can move forward and make “Continue the fun for #21!”

Supporting the Cultural Arts in Rural Communities – Since 2003, the Beaver Island Music Festival, an annual community-based event, has grown a vibrant cultural community on a remote Lake Michigan island. PARC is dedicated to creating ways to retain and support artists, personnel, festival-goers, and community members who have been affected by the many cancellations by trying to minimize the devastating economic impact. We plan to continue events, either in person or by creating new platforms that will support the mission of our organization and make sure this vital asset to our rural and isolated community does not disappear. These artists represent the cultural history and spirit of the island with a combination of traditional and current music. The Festival means much more than a set of musical performances. It is a way of bringing people to Beaver Island every year to experience the natural beauty community spirit, enjoy talented musicians, and support an island that depends on summer visitors for its economic resilience. In the coming months, we will need your support to keep moving forward into the future. 

It is also with deep and sincere appreciation that we say thank you to the artists, businesses, sponsors, and supporters that keep this important event moving forward. People like you, working together, continue to make the world a better place. We can make it happen. Music is the medicine we need!

We look forward to seeing you this year.
