Annual 21st Art, Beer, & Wine Festival
Saturday, June 6th, 2026
Ella Sharp Museum is bringing back the 21st Annual Art, Beer & Wine Festival, and it’s bigger, tastier, and more fun than ever. Michigan breweries, wineries, cider mills, and distillers. Local food you’ll be thinking about for weeks. Artists, music, and the kind of atmosphere that turns into “remember that day at Ella Sharp…”
Stroll the historic farm lane with a drink in hand. Dance in the field. Snap photos with the sculptures. Try something new. Go back for seconds. Repeat.
And the best part? Every sip and every ticket supports Ella Sharp Museum’s programs, education, and upcoming exhibits. You’re having a blast and supporting something that matters.
Ella’s Patio Party Series
Three summer nights. Three unique museum locations. One fun way to enjoy Ella Sharp Museum after hours.
Join us for the Ella’s Patio Party Series, a summertime event series featuring live music, small bites, a cash bar, yard games, and an evening with friends, family, and the museum community. Each Patio Party will take place in a different location on the Ella Sharp Museum campus, giving guests a new way to enjoy the museum grounds all summer long.
Bring your friends, make it a date night, or come as a family. Kids can be dropped off at the Planetarium for shows and activities during the event, and adults are welcome to enjoy the Planetarium too.
Guests may purchase tickets for one Patio Party or save by purchasing tickets for all three events. Table reservations are also available for guests who want a reserved spot to gather, relax, and enjoy the evening.
