Experience Fall Phantasm 2024: Journey Through the Underworld

Fall Phantasm Maypole in Marquette MI

Marquette Fringe is committed to providing transformative art experiences that are accessible to all of our community. Every year, we work hard to bring you events that are free and open to the public. This is our mission and the font from which we draw our magicks. Yet it takes much treasure: many talents, many gifts, and much coin to complete these rituals to offer you, Dear Public. This is why we’ve created new offerings to both enhance the experience of the Fall Phantasm and to keep the magic flowing for years to come!

For those who seek a more festival experience, we offer limited camping passes for tents, cars, and RVs! Immerse yourself deeper into the world of Phantasm by camping in the beautiful woods surrounding Lakenenland Sculpture Park. Passes include on-site parking and a designated spot within our camping area. Campers may set up anytime after 12pm on Saturday, October 5th, and must leave by 2pm on Sunday. This liminal, rustic campground is pack-in, pack-out. Help us steward this precious land by cleaning up before you go and leave no trace.

In addition to the camping experience, we invite you to attend the exquisite side of the Fall Phantasm as part of our VIP experience. Be up close to the action when the Veil is lifted. VIPs have access to an exclusive covered area with comfy seating, snacks and refreshments arranged by Golden Hour Soirees; as well as front-row seats for a 90-minute performance at 7:30pm. Not only will VIP ticket-holders have access to an exclusive side stage area, luxury accommodations, and immersive actor experiences, but VIP Passes also include on-site parking and discounted camping!

Festival of the Angry Bear

Join Marquette Fringe at Ore Dock Brewing Co.’s annual Festival of the Angry Bear as we lead our fellow creatures of the Northwoods in a march with Who Dat Brass to welcome springtime to Marquette, Michigan.

Each year in April as the frozen grounds of Lake Superior’s shore attempts its thaw, Festival of the Angry Bear comes out of hibernation and takes over Spring Street in downtown Marquette. Modeled after some of the great beer festivals of Europe, the festival is a showcase of barrel-aged beer, live music, and delicious food. Attendance is free, and fun is guaranteed.
