Beaver Island's Special Events
BITE OF BEAVER ISLAND AND BOODLE
Start your day with our 3k boodle downtown after a night of great music. Then from 12 to 2:00 p.m. see what the best professional and amateur chefs on the Island have to offer – sample a wide variety of treats. And check out arts and crafts in the BIC Center with more music to follow on the weekend.
It’s a great weekend to enjoy fall colors with temperatures still moderate as the lake keeps us warm later than the mainland. Come Discover Beaver Island in the fall and have some fun!

New Future for Third Oldest Lighthouse on the Great Lakes
Charlevoix County and Networks Northwest have entered into a partnership to buy the historic Beaver Island Lighthouse School property. …Amy Dixon, Mary Jo Antaya!! What’s going to happen???
So happy it will be saved…I worked here for 3 summers as a team leader helping children learn work and reading skills while doing my Social Work internship for Ferris State. Traveled back in 2013 and stayed at the lower camp area. I now have my own business as a videographer and drone pilot doing weddings along with my social work career. Hope to get back to film it soon someday. Would love to see the site turned into a wedding destination site with ceremonies on the tower walkway and guests staying in the keepers quarters and cabins and sites being rented out for lodging….Great site for something like this.
