The Harbor Beach Maritime Festival was created in 2001 as a celebration for the Lighthouse transfer of ownership from the U.S. Government to the City of Harbor Beach. Now in its 25th year, the Maritime Festival has expanded from just a celebration of our local beacon to a 4-day live music venue, numerous family events and some of the best fireworks display in the Midwest. 

With the entire festival just feet from Lake Huron, "Maritime" as it's commonly referred as, offers a venue unlike any other. With over 24 hours of free, live music being played on the beach by some of the finest up-and-coming bands, Maritime stands by itself in quality entertainment. No cover charge, the ability to roam the entire festival grounds, viewing the World's Greatest Man-Made Harbor from the Trescott Street Pier and all while enjoying your favorite beverage (that you can bring in!), it is a festival-goer's dream come true.
