The Big Bay Stewardship Council will host the annual Fall Fest on Saturday, September 20, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the newly renovated Draver Park. The family-friendly event draws more than a thousand attendees each year and features live music, a classic car show, local food vendors, artisan booths, and a variety of children’s activities, including crafts, bounce houses, and pie-eating contests.
This year’s festival highlights new amenities at Draver Park made possible through Powell Township’s Spark grant renovations. Updates include a year-round bathroom facility adjacent to the Big Bay Pathway trailhead, offering a much-needed recreational resource for the community.
The Stewardship Council views Fall Fest as more than a seasonal celebration. It serves as an opportunity for residents and visitors alike to connect, reflect on the area’s natural and cultural heritage, and consider the future vitality of Big Bay.
Kurt Hauswirth spoke with Big Bay Stewardship Council Director Kelsey Wermager about the 2025 Fall Fest:
