Ship and Shore Festival

New Buffalo is home to the largest street fest in Southwest Michigan. Enjoy three days packed with great live music, food, kids activities and more! The highlight of the event is watching the floating parade through the harbor when yachts, sailboats and more are transformed into floating pieces of art. All decorated with lights, dancing on the water through the harbor followed by a huge fireworks display over Lake Michigan! ! Join us Friday - Sunday, August 10-12, 2012.
