Manistee’s annual Boos, Brews and Brats had traditionally been organized by the Manistee Downtown Development Authority but in 2018, the DDA decided the festival would be too difficult to plan along with the other events and tasks that they’ve yet to complete.
The Manistee Elks decided to take over the event and now hosts it in conjunction with the clubs annual community Halloween Party.
This event is open to the public.
Tickets are typically $20 each and include a souvenir glass and 4 tickets to be used on either beer or brats.
