“Harbor Days 2026 is officially wrapped up. What a busy and fulfilling week!! ⚓️💙
Friday morning I wandered through the farmers market and arts and crafts show, there were so many fresh treats 🧁, fruits 🫐 and goods, and so many amazing pieces of art 🎨. Thank you to all the vendors and markets that showed up and helped make this Harbor Days so full and special!!
My court and I enjoyed the afternoon at the library’s kids day, we loved all the fun games, crafts, and of course meeting the mermaid!!🧜♀️ We later kicked off the penny scramble, took some fun photos on the beach, then Elisa and I challenged the winning fire fighters in the waterball contest!!💦🚒👩🚒
Saturday morning I visited the Harbor Run and got to cheer on our runners!🏃♀️ Then my favorite part of the day, our grande parade!!!! 💃 I loved seeing our whole community gather together to celebrate and cheer on all the great businesses and people that make up our beautiful town. Afterwards my court and I joined a wonderful luncheon hosted by the Elk Rapids Lions Club. We later dunked a couple fire fighters👨🚒 and our sheriff👮♂️ in the dunk tank!! We then chose the winners of the sand sculpting contest before enjoying the evening and fireworks with our families.
Sunday morning we enjoyed the Amvets wonderful breakfast 🥞 before heading down to clean up the leftover debris from 🎆 and a fun weekend on the beach!!
Thank you Elk Rapids and Harbor Days committee for an amazing and special 2026 Harbor Days for my court and I. We are so incredibly grateful for getting to participate and enjoy everything that our towns amazing festival has to offer!”
Forever grateful,
Queen Kelly💙🦢
