Don’t miss this fifth annual foodie event in Leelanau County from April 26-May 4. Glen Lake Restaurant Week offers an array of options, “from French Fries to French Cuisine,” boasting something for everyone with a variety of dining options around the greater Glen Arbor area.

Join your fellow hearty northern Michiganders for Glen Lake Winterfest, held by the Glen Lake Chamber of Commerce, on Saturday, Feb. 16 (President’s Day Weekend). Festivities include a perch fishing contest and chili cook-off on the deck at Boondocks.

When the Glen Lake Chamber’s annual Pumpkin Festival was moved into the Township Hall due to rain, the swiftest and most accessible messaging—the new Township digital sign—was unavailable. Due to a regrettable dispute about its impact, the sign was turned off. Totally dark! Not to be used.

The Glen Lake Chamber of Commerce will hold its Pumpkin Fest in the newly remodeled Glen Arbor Township Park on Saturday, Oct. 20, from noon until 3 p.m. The local community and visitors are invited to enjoy this celebration of autumn.

Don’t miss this annual foodie event happening in Leelanau County Friday, April 27, until Saturday, May 5. Throughout the week, book a time to dine at each restaurant on the list for a unique and mouth-watering experience.

What’s new in town in 2016 — particularly if you haven’t visited Glen Arbor since last July — are the forests around the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. They are completely different. That’s because of the Aug. 2, 2015, megastorm, which packed “straight line” winds of 100 miles per hour, leveled thousands of hardwood trees across Alligator Hill, along the east side of Big Glen Lake, across Leelanau County and on Old Mission Peninsula north of Traverse City. The storm was the most dramatic thing to hit Glen Arbor in modern times, and it changed the experience of visiting our beloved National Lakeshore for generations to come.

It’s that time of year again for the annual salute to the beginning of summer, with delicious local fare and the best of Northern Michigan microbrews. The Glen Lake Chamber’s family-friendly BBQ and Brew summer celebration happens the third Saturday in June each year. This year the anticipated event falls on June 20, from 2 until 8 p.m.
