Annual Fall Festival
Empire, MI
The Village of Empire is known for its beautiful beaches and fun-filled festivals. The Hops & Harvest Festival is a celebration of the Harvest and Northern Michigan’s beautiful and bitter hop plant. Hops can be found earlier in the season strung-up all throughout the county and have become an agricultural staple in the region.
The weekend events include local food and drinks, live music and performances.
BARC ensures that the event is zero-waste and collaborates with Taste the Local Difference to verify that vendors use as many locally sourced ingredients as possible.
Every beer sold helps to support the Village of Empire and BARC’s work in the community.
