‘Live! On The Lakeshore’ brings literature, art, and history to life with a series of live demonstrations of visual arts, musical performances, and dramatic storytelling about the lives, events, and heritage of the Tri-Cities area. Locals and visitors of all ages can experience the magical transformation of a live special-effects makeup demonstration, feel transported by a student dance performance, watch the creation in real time of an idyllic West Michigan scene in oils, or hear the tales of the history of the area. These cultural encounters are free for all to enjoy, and fit right into the festive feel of the Grand Haven shoreline in high summer.
