Summer Festivals Mean Big Business Impact

Posted: Updated:

There are plenty of summer festivals in Northern Michigan to choose from during our warm months.

Local businesses often rely on a boost from busy festival weekends to keep their doors open.

The East Jordan Freedom Festival has been a fixture in the community for more than 50 years, and tonight last minute preparations were underway for tomorrow's big Block Party.

Business owners and city officials say any money put into local Northern Michigan businesses makes an impact.

9&10's Kalin Franks and Photojournalist Joel Deaner were in Charlevoix County today learning more about the Freedom Festival financial impact.
