The Great Lakes Surf Festival in Muskegon, Michigan, is back for its third year, after successful events in 2018 and 2019. Set to be held on Saturday, August 14 at Pere Marquette Beach in Muskegon, the exciting event will feature music, food, and a raffle where they will be giving away several surfboards and paddleboards and even a trip to Costa Rica!
The event will provide plenty of opportunities for people to learn how to surf or paddleboard, along with yoga on the beach. In conjunction with Tommy’s Boats of Grand Rapids Michigan, the festival will be creating artificial waves that mimic waist-high ocean waves — perfect for beginners to learn on.
“We are excited to see the Great Lakes Surf Festival grow and to have the support from our sponsors and from the surf and paddleboard industry,” says event co-founder Joe Bidawid. “We have one of the most beautiful venue locations on the Great Lakes, in Pere Marquette Beach, and we encourage anyone interested in a fun and family friendly beach day to come out and join us.”
