A weekend celebration featuring live music, seasonal flavors, local vendors, and family-friendly activities.
Hotel Walloon Resort invites the public to celebrate the beauty of the season during the inaugural Walloon Lake Autumn Festival, taking place Saturday, October 3, and Sunday, October 4, 2026, in the heart of the Village of Walloon Lake.
Designed to capture the charm and traditions of fall in Northern Michigan, the Autumn Festival will bring together the Walloon Lake community for a weekend filled with live entertainment, seasonal flavors, hands on activities, and family-friendly experiences. Attendees are invited to enjoy the crisp autumn air, explore local offerings, and experience the timeless character of Walloon Lake during one of the area’s most beautiful seasons.
Festival highlights include live music performances from The Blitz and Jelly Roll Blues Band, the Taste of Autumn cook-off benefiting Manna Food Project, live wood and pumpkin carvings, an Autumn Market at the Talcott featuring local vendors, seasonal activities for all ages, and more. Attendees can also enjoy Oktoberfest-inspired specials at the Walloon Village General Store, along with additional fall offerings throughout the village.
“Fall in the Village of Walloon Lake is truly something special. The changing colors, cooler temperatures, and slower pace create the perfect setting to gather with family and friends,” said Emily Emmott, Hotel Walloon General Manager. “The Autumn Festival is an opportunity to celebrate the community, showcase local businesses, and welcome visitors to experience all that makes this community special during this incredible time of year.”
