On June 17, make your great getaway to the north side of Higgins Lake by car, boat, quad, kayak, Razor, paddle board, bike, or whatever your favorite "up north" transportation is - and sip on a wide selection of beer, wine, and hard cider from local Michigan breweries! Enjoy your drink of choice to the beats of live music artists, tour booths of local restaurants, and treat your tastebuds to a few of the featured menu items that tempt you the most! Proceeds benefit the local Young Professionals group's efforts to protect and support small businesses in the heart of Northern Michigan.
