The Endless Summer Festival returns to Blackrocks Brewery on September 5, 2026, offering Marquette residents and Labor Day weekend visitors a free, all-ages gathering celebrating the season. Located along the walkable Third Street corridor, the annual event functions as an accessible hub for the local community, blending craft beer, regional food vendors, and local artisan displays. The gathering reflects the region's year-round outdoor lifestyle, bringing together familiar faces and first-time visitors to explore local art and culture in a single, vibrant setting.
One highlight of the day is the return of Geoff & Jon’s Record Show, stationed in an outdoor tent alongside the festival vendors. Event co-organizers Jon Teichman and Geoff Walker are supplying thousands of physical media items across multiple formats (including vinyl LPs, CDs, cassettes, and DVDs), spanning classic pop, rock, jazz, and contemporary releases. Eventgoers can browse through roughly thirty crates of music at the pub or stop by Teichman's nearby storefront, The Emporium on North Third Street, which remains open during the show.
Public Radio 90's Kurt Hauswirth spoke with Teichman about the Endless Summer Festival:
The festival features continuous live music scheduled across two stages throughout the afternoon and evening. Outside on the Patio Stage, headliners include local surf rock group Ramble Ramble alongside performances by WhoDat Brass, Finding Feathers, the Blackrocks House Band, and a trio set by Ashlyn, Canyon, and John. Indoors, attendees can catch intimate sets from Almost Elvis, DJ Holiday, Joe Rayome, and DJ Pilsner, rounding out a full schedule of regional sound, food, and craft brewing.
