Stroll the Streets fills downtown Boyne City with music and fun every summer Friday evening from 6 to 9 p.m. through Labor Day weekend. This marks the sixth year for Stroll the Streets, which is organized by the Boyne City Main Street Program. Music ranges from traditional folk, bluegrass and jazz to rock. Special activities include magicians, caricature artists, face-painters and balloon-twisters. Thanks to our sponsors!
From its modest beginning, Stroll the Streets has grown to become the signature event for downtown Boyne City. "It's amazing how many people have told me how much they enjoy the event," said Karen Guzniczak, chair of the Stroll the Streets organizing committee. "We have had people tell us that they make sure they leave their home downstate so they can get to Boyne City in time for Stroll the Streets."
The program is funded by contributions from Boyne City businesses (listed below). "The support we receive from our community is outstanding," Guzniczak said. "This makes it possible to create such a wonderful event for our town. Thanks to all our sponsors we will be able to continue to provide entertainment this summer all around downtown."
