2008 Muskegon Summer Celebration lineup
The Muskegon Summer Celebration is called “The BIG Party”. The outdoor festival began in 1993 with a small budget of $170,000 and 350,000 attendees. The budget has grown to $600,000 and draws crowds between 600,000 to 625,000 each year! The celebration is held at Heritage Landing along the shores of Muskegon Lake in downtown Muskegon.
