The Hiawatha Traditional Music Festival in Marquette, Michigan is held each year during the next-to-last full weekend in July and features traditional, acoustic, American music. Each year's main-stage line-up can include bluegrass, old-time, Cajun, Celtic, acoustic blues, Gospel, etc. The line-up includes national, regional and local performers, and singer/songwriters are always featured. The Festival also includes music and activities designed for teens and children. An art and craft show sponsored by a local art organization is held in conjunction with the Festival. Many of the art and craft vendors sell earth-friendly items. The Hiawatha Festival began in 1979 in Champion, Michigan. Since 1984, the Festival venue has been the city-owned Marquette Tourist Park, where camping (up to 1,000 units) is available for Festival-goers. The Hiawatha Festival is conducted by the Hiawatha Music Non Profit Corporation, a 600-member, 501(c)3 non-profit commonly known as the Hiawatha Music Co-op.
