This annual art fair takes place next to the beautiful Suttons Bay Marina Park on the first weekend of August (August 3 & 4, 2024, Sat. 10am – 5pm, Sun. 10am – 4pm). One hundred artists along with community groups, a community library book sale, food vendors and a children’s area make this the perfect place to spend an art-filled weekend at the beach.
A committee of volunteers oversees the selection of visiting artists and the distribution of funds generated by the event. Thousands of dollars have been contributed to local arts-related education projects. These include music and dance performances, artist in residence programs and scholarships for local art students. Starting last year Crooked Tree Arts Center has begun the process of managing the art fair. Over the next two years the transition will be completed. Artists and visitors will likely not notice the transition has taken place.
Come to Suttons Bay in August, participate – as an artist, as a shopper or as a volunteer. Join in the fun!

Leelanau UnCaged is a place for the community to gather and enjoy inspiring music and dance performances in one day on the streets of Northport.
* 4 performance areas, 40+ acts
* Kids’ UnCaged art activities
* Artisan, Food & Nonprofit Vendors
* Water Blessing

UnCage takes place after Labor Day when the vibe changes to a more relaxed pace, with weather that can be like summer or fall, but gorgeous, nonetheless. Festival goers enjoy being outdoors strolling from venue to venue through an array of art vendors filling the streets. Food options are plentiful throughout the day.
The festival kicks off with a beautiful water blessing over the bay, a time to honor and give thanks for these precious waters, followed by a procession to the festival center where music and dance performances begin.
Leelanau UnCaged is free to festival goers thanks to the generous donations from businesses and patrons.
Please Save the Date for Saturday, September 27, 2025!
