Dollar Bay 4th of July Celebration

Dollar Bay

Date: July 3rd & 4th, 2025

This year’s Dollar Bay 4th of July celebration is going to be a big one! Starting at 1PM on July 3rd, visitors can participate in family-friendly events throughout the day – carriage rides to almuni basketball to a community carnival! Once dusk hits at 8PM, boogie the night away during the annual Dollar Bay Street Dance Block Party. This year’s music will be provided by a fun local band playing all your favorite covers, Split Shyft. Join locals and visitors as they dance into the night across from Ritchie’s Store while enjoying food and snacks from the Fire Hall (all proceeds go to the cause). Don’t forget your camping chairs in case your dancing feet get tired.

On the 4th of July, the Dollar Bay Volunteer Fire Department hosts their World-Famous Chicken barbecue from 10:30AM to 2PM.  And… they don’t call it a World-Famous Chicken BBQ for nothing! For just $16 you will be treated to the best chicken barbecue in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan with sides of baked beans, coleslaw and a dinner roll! Tickets are cash-only and sold in advance at Ritchie’s, so be sure to swing by well beforehand! Make sure to catch the annual 4th of July Parade at 12PM, followed by family games at Pioneer Park and concessions.
