ESCANABA — Bay College kicks-off of its outdoor live music series, Lunchtime LIVE! on Thursday, June 20, in Bay’s central outdoor courtyard.

“The start of summer means fun, sun, and hopefully a little live music and good food along the way,” said Emilie Schada, community events and marketing coordinator. “Bay College is a great place to enjoy all year-round and in the summer our new courtyard will be abloom with native plants and flowers providing a great backdrop to enjoy local music and food from local vendors.”

Bay College’s first Lunchtime LIVE! performance on June 20 features the band the Blue Auroras, along with food available for purchase from Toby’s Dog House of Manistique and Rapid River’s Brisket Barn. The Blue Auroras will feature “beachy” surf tunes. Surf attire is encouraged and those donning their most colorful beach wear will be granted a ticket for admission to the upcoming concert in the Besse Theater featuring award-winning Ukulele player Victoria Vox on July 10 at 7:30 p.m.

Lunchtime LIVE! will be held June 20, June 27, July 11, July 25 and Aug. 1. In the case of inclement weather, the event will be held indoors in the cafe. The courtyard may be accessed through the Besse Center’s main entrance or from parking lot “E.” For more information, to sponsor a performance, or to be a feature performer, contact events@baycollege.edu or (906) 217-4040.
