Marquette Area Blue Fest
Marquette Area Blues Fest The Marquette Area Blues Society (MABS) was born July 4, 2003 during the annual fireworks display in Marquette at the Lower Harbor Park. Founding members Terry Klavitter, April Lindala and Walt Lindala always enjoyed the sites and sounds of what Marquette had to offer, but they continually asked - "Why doesn't this town have a blues festival?" Marquette's residents love music and they love a good time - it just made sense. But how to get started? The trio put an announcement in the local papers and soon a meeting was held. The first society meeting took place July 23rd at the Peter White Library. Since that first meeting, interest has multiplied. MABS has nearly 75 paid members and several other people who volunteer for the society. Interest continues to grow. It is the mission of the Marquette Area Blues Society to promote the appreciation of blues music & culture in the Upper Peninsula. The goal is to establish an annual live blues music festival in Marquette, Michigan.
