For 44 years, the Grand Marais Music & Arts Festival has been a cherished part of our community—but it’s important to remember that while we enjoy providing various community events during the year the Music Festival has always been a fundraiser for the Grand Marais Chamber of Commerce.

From the beginning, the Festival was created not only to bring music and celebration to our community, but to bring visitors to Grand Marais and support the businesses that provide jobs, income, services, and opportunity for the people who live here.

We have worked hard to keep the Festival affordable and accessible. Thursday evening admission is just $20, individual Friday and Saturday passes are $30, and a full weekend of live music is $65.

While we deeply value our local community and hope residents will continue to join us in this 44-year tradition, putting on a quality festival comes with very real expenses. The artists, sound production, infrastructure, advertising, and countless other costs must be paid—and the proceeds help the Chamber continue its work supporting and promoting Grand Marais.

This Festival has never simply been about a few days of music. It is about investing in the economic vitality of our town, bringing people through our doors, supporting the businesses that employ our neighbors, and continuing a tradition that has served Grand Marais for more than four decades.

We are proud of what this Festival represents, grateful to everyone who supports it, and committed to keeping it both affordable and sustainable for the years ahead.
