Nor-East'r Music & Art Festival

Nor-East'r Music & Art Festival Nor-East'r is an annual roots music festival the second weekend of June at the Oscoda County Fairgrounds in Mio, Mi!

Held on the 2nd weekend of June (regardless of whether the 1st weekend of June is a full weekend, or partial one)! Mark your calendars for three straight days of eclectic music and art, food, dancing, camping, jamming, drumming, and some of the greatest parkin’ lot pickin’ in the state. Three stages host continuous music morning to night, ranging from blues to bluegrass, country to new age, jam ba

nds, old-time, Celtic, folk, and even a little rock. Artists offer varied original work from woodcarving to glasswork, jewelry to stonework, basket-making, fiber art, photography, and of course, the indispensable festival tie-dye. All this and more makes Nor-East’r one of Michigan’s best festival experiences. Nor-Eastr Festival is run by the AVNAF board, which is officially an 501c3.

With the summer music festival upon us, it’s important to remember what these festivals are about. They are about bringing people together who share a common love of music. They are about community, kindness and inclusion. There is a lot of work that goes in to putting each of these festivals on, mostly on the backs of volunteers and mostly behind the scenes. These volunteers work year round to make these festivals happen. By the time the festival is here, exhaustion and anxiety have set in. The volunteers and organizers care so much about getting it right for the attendees, performers and vendors. As with most big events, things don’t always go as planned and the unexpected happens. My request is that whatever festival(s) you attend this summer, please tell an organizer or volunteer “thank you”. Show them some grace. If you’re having a great time, let them know. Sometimes it’s that little gesture of kindness that gets us over that hump. It validates why we do this year after year. Happy Festival Season!

Only 5 more sleeps until blast off 6/12! Only 4 more sleeps until the Erik Koskinen kickoff show at Skyline on 6/11!
