Keep your eyes open for facade improvements coming to the Simonsen's Bakery building located at 115 Bridge Street. A grant was recently approved to clean, repair and repaint the brick and facade walls in order to restore the building to its historic look as much as possible.

The Facade Incentive Program, which helped to improve multiple downtown buildings by providing funding last year, is developed by the Design Committee of Charlevoix Main Street.

The grant program was created to encourage private investment in historic facades by providing financial incentives. Historically sensitive rehabilitation and dramatic improvement of facades in downtown Charlevoix will encourage good design that will serve as quality examples to preserve the architectural character that is distinctive to Charlevoix. By improving the appearance of the building facades, the Program helps to improve the economic vitality of the downtown.

Thursday nights downtown Charlevoix were filled with live music this summer thanks to Live on the Lake. Buskers preformed at various locations from 5-7PM followed by the main act from 7-9PM in the East Park Performance Pavilion. We hope you enjoyed the music.
