Film, Adventure, and Inspiration
4 days • 10 film venues • 17 outdoor tours • 94 films • Endless inspiration
The Fresh Coast Film Festival is hosted by several venues around Marquette. We couldn’t bring this festival to life without the generous support of these venues-please buy their beer, eat their food and thank them profusely like we do. The festival headquarters will be located at the Marquette Commons. Most venues are within a half-mile walk. Some venues may have limited seating.
