Inspiration Alcona's first annual music event was the Alcona GospelFest, an ecumenical and cultural program usually held on a Saturday soon after Easter. The event includes a learning session for the choir and a free public concert. The program resumed after covid restrictions in November 2022. The latest event was held on April 27, 2024 at New Life Lutheran Church in Spruce (Hubbard Lake Road near White Pine Golf Course).
Harbor Nights Concerts, free summer concerts at the open-air pavilion above Harrisville Harbor featuring professional musicians, returns for 2024. The fun runs 6 to 8 p.m. on Fridays. Bring a lawn chair or a blanket. The first concert is June 14.
Another regular highlight is the weekly Harbor Nights Open Mic, held from 6 to 8 or 9 p.m. Tuesdays starting in June each year, also at the open-air pavilion above Harrisville harbor. Bring a lawn chair or blanket to listen, or your instrument and voice if you want to perform. The series continues indoors in cold weather (or rain) at the Harrisville Arts Council building, 112 N. Third, Harrisville. This program is cosponsored by the arts council.
Recently we've been a cosponsor of the Sunrise Side Music Festival, an annual event at Lost Lake Woods Club.
We also produce other concerts and dances each year, often partnering with another local group. In 2017 Inspiration Alcona sponsored a performance of "Forever Yours: A Live Musical Tribute to Patsy Cline," which was a benefit for the newly re-formed Alcona Community Schools band. In other years we've held Contra dances, cosponsored Valentine dances, produced several individual concerts and even sponsored ballet performances.
