The Walk the Beat free outdoor music festival returns to the White Lake Area July 20. In the heart of the downtown areas of Whitehall and Montague, music will pulsate through the streets thanks to the enduring spirit of community and the support of local businesses, organizations and groups. Walk the Beat White Lake Area Director Kevin Goff encourages everyone to visit the White Lake area and “experience a wide range of musical groups and genres with vibrant sounds that will captivate audiences of all ages.”
Walk the Beat is a volunteer, nonprofit organization dedicated to music for all and builds communities through musical events. It raises funds through donations, sponsorships, and an event raffle to promote musical education and support local organizations. Walk the Beat began ten years ago in Grand Haven, and then expanded into Albion and the White Lake Area. Thanks to last year’s event, White Lake Area students were awarded $5,800 worth of scholarships and instruments in April. This year’s Walk the Beat White Lake Area music festival will feature 39 musical acts in 20 different venues scattered throughout Montague and Whitehall, MI. Musical acts will take place from 1-5 p.m. This year’s Walk the Beat White Lake Area will give out $4,000 in door prizes and hold a $5,000 event raffle at 7 p.m. Raffle tickets are available for purchase at the event.
