Live music has been a part of Saugatuck’s cultural scene for generations, dating back to when musical luminaries like Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck, and Dizzy Gillespie played at our downtown jazz festival in the late 1950s. In later years, the Saugatuck Pop Fest brought acts like Bob Seger and Muddy Waters to our town in the 1960s, putting Saugatuck on the map for its lively, open-minded arts and music community. That tradition continues today, with live music filling the calendar throughout the year, especially during the busy summer months.
