The annual Sugar Island Fest is celebrated on Sugar Island in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. It was reestablished in 2001 as a fundraiser to help finance local projects, including black- topping a main island roadway and improving access to a beautiful piece of recreational beach.
The Sugar Island Fest has welcomed people from as far away as Australia with music, local crafts, food vendors and fun for the entire family.
A large group of organizers, staff, groundskeepers and musicians volunteer their time and talents each year to provide audiences with the best entertainment and activities.
For questions regarding scheduling contact Dave Morrison
The heart and soul of our festival are the people that volunteer their time and talents every year. From the groundskeepers that cut the fields, to the organizers and workers, to the musicians that keep us all entertained, the primary goal is to help provide an enjoyable event the local community can take part in. Over the years, volunteers have been critical to the festival's sucess and longevity, and that still holds true today.
Of course, without the music on-stage, there would be no festival, so we depend on the generosity of the musicians for their time and talents. There is always an interest in sharing the stage with new faces and voices, so if you are a performer, please contact us with your information.
If you wish to inquire about volunteer positions, please contact Mindy.

Grab a partner for the Saturday afternoon beanbag tournament. It's been steadily growing in popularity so make sure you register at the signup board at the cook shack.
The Sugar Island Fest is fun for all ages! A section of the grounds right off the stage is devoted to children's activities, including swings, a BIG sand pile and an area to play ball, throw frisbees, etc. There's also a giant, inflatable obstacle course (which will be shut down and cleaned every 2 hours). Volunteers are available to keep an eye on things, or if preferred, you can keep an eye on the kids and still catch the action on stage.
Be sure to bring your dancing shoes because there's a dance floor directly in front of the stage. You'll be able to bust a move while listening to some amazing live music.
Grab your tent or RV and head on over because no summer is complete without a camping trip. The Sugar Island Fest is your weekend getaway, complete with live music and roasted marshmallows. In addition to hotdogs, hamburgers, and fries, the cook shack also offers an all you can eat breakfast from 9:00am-11:00am Saturday and Sunday for $5.00.
Special Thanks to Wayne Lawrence
