Enjoy the New Buffalo Ship & Shore Festival This Weekend in Harbor Country!

Living in Harbor Country along Lake Michigan’s Shoreline is fantastic for a wide variety of reasons!  Whether you are planning on buying a vacation home or settling in permanently to any of the eight shoreline cities that make up Harbor Country; you’re sure to be drawn to its beautiful scenery, vibrant communities and endless ways to interact with your Harbor Country neighbors.
Our team here at Shoreline Property Advisors enjoys being in tune with what’s going on in each of the areas we serve along the Lake Michigan Shoreline.  We get excited when unique things are taking place in Evanston, Chicago’s North Shore, the Indiana shoreline and in Harbor Country and want to be a great resource for you for all things related to living on the Lake Michigan Shoreline!
Today we wanted to take a few minutes to highlight Harbor Country and a great event that’s taking place this weekend, August 12-14!  The New Buffalo Ship & Shore Festival is in its 27th 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 throughout the entire weekend 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 Harbor Country website.
We hope you get a chance to take part in the Ship & Shore Festival this coming weekend!  Our recommendation is grabbing a sangria with a real gyro, and sitting back and enjoy the boat parade and fireworks!  We’d love to hear about your experience if you go!
