Charlevoix events in November 2026 include a holiday concert, a downtown parade and a two-day market at Castle Farms.

These are specific dated outings, not a promise that every seasonal attraction will operate whenever you arrive.

The details below were checked against organizer listings on November 1, 2026; revisit the linked pages for changes and ticket availability before leaving home.

November 21: A Celtic Holiday with Switchback

Castle Farms lists Switchback’s concert for Saturday, November 21, from 5–7 p.m., with doors opening at 4 p.m.

The event takes place at Castle Farms, 5052 M-66 North in Charlevoix.

The organizer lists general admission at $30 and a $45 VIP option with reserved-section seating and a drink ticket.

Check the purchase page for the final total, availability and applicable terms before choosing a ticket.

For a group, settle the ticket category and arrival plan together so nobody assumes a different seating arrangement.

November 27: Holiday Parade and Tree Lighting

The Chamber’s current event header schedules the downtown celebration for Friday, November 27, 2026, from 3–6 p.m.

The program lists Santa photos and a children’s craft during the afternoon, followed by a 5:30 p.m. parade and a 6 p.m. tree lighting in East Park.

One lower date-information line still references 2025, so confirm the detailed schedule with the Chamber at 231-547-2101 before making a time-sensitive plan.

Choose a meeting place before the parade, bring layers for outdoor waiting and allow time to find a suitable public viewing position.

November 27–28: Deck the Halls at Castle Farms

Deck the Halls is listed for Friday, November 27, from 5–9 p.m., and Saturday, November 28, from 11 a.m.–4 p.m.

Castle Farms describes a holiday market with local makers and small businesses, with free admission.

The venue is the same M-66 property as the Switchback concert, but this is a separate event with its own schedule.

Friday’s market overlaps the downtown parade, so select your priority or plan around Saturday rather than assuming both can be enjoyed in full on Friday evening.

Free admission does not cover purchases, and the current vendor lineup should be checked with the organizer.

Build an outing around the right source

The Chamber calendar is useful for downtown events, while venue calendars provide more detailed information for events on their own properties.

Read the year, venue and start time together before adding anything to your personal calendar.

If a listing contains an old line or conflicting detail, resolve that with the organizer instead of treating a search snippet as the final answer.

Ask specific accessibility questions when they affect attendance, including the route from parking, seating and restroom access.

Keep the confirmation or event link available on your phone and agree on a fallback if conditions or plans change.

With a little coordination, November’s calendar offers several distinct reasons to spend time in Charlevoix without trying to fit every event into one evening.

For the concert, leave enough time to find your seating before the music begins, particularly if several friends are arriving separately.

For market shopping, set a budget and carry purchases in a bag that leaves your hands free.

For an outdoor celebration, choose warm footwear and make a simple plan for finding one another if the group becomes separated along the route.
