Suds On The Shore

08/20/2026

THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for the 2026 Suds on the Shore Craft Beer, Wine and Cocktail Festival! 🍻 Your energy and support made this year’s event one of our most successful yet, and we are so grateful for this amazing community.

Together, we raised more than $121,000 for United Way of the West Shore and their essential community support programs. We were thrilled to welcome over 1,600 attendees, volunteers, VIPs, musicians, and beverage partners.

To our incredible breweries, wineries, distilleries, and community partners like AndyS Ludington and Emerging Leaders of the West Shore: your passion are what make Suds on the Shore something people look forward to all year long, and most importantly, facilitate real change for people in Mason and Manistee Counties.

Thank you for sharing your time and your enthusiasm with us. We’re so proud to call you part of the Suds on the Shore family.

Cheers to an unforgettable festival—we can't wait to raise a glass with you again next year! 🥂
