10:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Admission

Free!

Rock the shore at the 20th Annual Petoskey Stone Festival! For two decades, this beloved Northern Michigan tradition has brought together families, rockhounds, local artists, and small businesses to celebrate Michigan’s state stone and the beauty of our Great Lakes region.

Join us in Eastport at Barnes Park on Saturday, May 16, 2026, for a milestone celebration filled with treasure hunting, hands-on activities, live entertainment, and one-of-a-kind vendors. Whether you’re searching for your first Petoskey stone, competing in festival contests, shopping handcrafted Michigan goods, or simply soaking in a day by the lake with family and friends, there’s something for everyone.

Powered by volunteers and supported by our community, the Petoskey Stone Festival continues to grow while staying true to its roots — affordable, family-friendly, and uniquely Northern Michigan. Come celebrate 20 years of memories and help us kick off the next chapter of this lakeshore tradition!
