Charlevoix is home to several special events. The “Keep Charlevoix Beautiful” organization has been lining the streets with 1,000s of petunias since 1982. Every Thursday before Memorial Day hundreds of residents gather to plant over 60,000 petunias on Main Street. The Venetian Festival began as a simple boat show on Round Lake and is now a week-long celebration bringing in tens of thousands of people. The event includes fireworks, parades, carnivals, a boat parade and many family-friendly and adult activities. Apple Fest gives local farmers the chance to sell their harvest amidst pony rides, face painting, craft shows, and more. There are several notable golf courses around Charlevoix.
The city of Charlevoix and Lake Charlevoix waterfront homes have been served by a US Coast Guard station for over 100 years. The area has had many redevelopment projects that improved the downtown since the 1980s. The 80s also brought many condominium developments, adding to the offerings of Lake Charlevoix waterfront homes. St Mary’s Cement Group (Cemex/Medusa), located just south of town, is a major employer. The plant is a frequent port of call for St. Mary’s Challenger, the oldest freighter on the Great Lakes.
