Don't Miss the Annual New Buffalo Ship & Shore Festival This Weekend!

Many are drawn to live or vacation in Harbor Country along Lake Michigan’s stunning shoreline.  Beautiful white sand beaches, clear water and vibrant communities offer a great lifestyle for those interested in retiring in a quaint and peaceful setting, those hoping to relocate to for a more permanent change, or those who just enjoy vacationing in these welcoming beach towns.  And if you’ve ever visited Harbor Country; you would understand its irresistible appeal.

As the dedicated team of Harbor Country Real Estate agents and advisors here at Shoreline Property Advisors, we enjoy highlighting the unique features of each community in which we serve.  This week, we wanted to give you an idea of the Harbor Country town of New Buffalo, which happens to be hosting one of its special annual events this weekend!  If you are currently living in New Buffalo or have questions about what the community has to offer; you’ll want to be sure to check out The New Buffalo Ship & Shore Festival!

The New Buffalo Ship & Shore Festival

Downtown New Buffalo

Friday, August 10 through Sunday, August 12

- The New Buffalo Ship & Shore Festival is in its 28th year and is a much anticipated event for visitors and permanent residents of Harbor Country.  This event began as a simple arts and crafts fair and has grown tremendously over the years!

New Buffalo’s downtown is the host for the fair each year which is sponsored by the New Buffalo business association.  Whittaker Street, which is the main street that runs through downtown is blocked off to all traffic and comes to life with local artisans, musicians, food and much more!  You’ll enjoy tasting local wines from Round Barn Winery and Free Run Cellars along with other amazing food selections from Harbor Country restaurants.

There’s something for every age as special events will take place beginning on Saturday just for the kids!  Activities such as watermelon and ice cream eating contests and many other fun games will make this weekend a memorable event for everyone!  A 5K, volleyball tournament and other fun things are planned for the adults as well. 

Of course many look forward to the pinnacle of the weekend with the lighted boat parade that takes place on Saturday evening at 9:30 followed by fireworks!  You can view more information and the full schedule of events on the New Buffalo website

We hope you’re able to enjoy this fun festival!  It’s a must for anyone in the Harbor Country area and is a great reason to get together with family, friends and neighbors. 

If you are considering buying a home in New Buffalo, whether as a permanent residence or vacation home; please let us know!  We would be happy to show you some of the beautiful homes currently on the New Buffalo Real Estate market and to guide you through the entire home buying process.
