CONCERTS
Marquette County is filled with music especially during our summer
months. The bandshells in Marquette and Negaunee feature the local
talent every week, while Northern Michigan University brings in
top national talent, and the nightclubs feature local, regional,
and national acts. From country to bluegrass to rap to pop to rock
to classical, there is always musical entertainment to experience.

Marquette Area Blues Fest
The Marquette Area Blues Society (MABS) was born July 4, 2003 during the annual fireworks display in Marquette at the Lower Harbor Park. Founding members Terry Klavitter, April Lindala and Walt Lindala always enjoyed the sites and sounds of what Marquette had to offer, but they continually asked - "Why doesn't this town have a blues festival?" Marquette's residents love music and they love a good time - it just made sense.
But how to get started? The trio put an announcement in the local papers and soon a meeting was held. The first society meeting took place July 23rd at the Peter White Library. Since that first meeting, interest has multiplied. MABS has nearly 75 paid members and several other people who volunteer for the society. Interest continues to grow.
Our mission is to promote the appreciation of blues music & culture in the Upper Peninsula. Our goal is to establish an annual live blues music festival in Marquette, Michigan.
