Manitou Beach, MI—After a scaled-back 2021 event featuring only ice fishing and a raffle, the Devils and Round Lake Men's Club Tip-Up Festival is ready to rock and roll the first weekend of February. This annual event mostly takes place on the frozen waters of Devils Lake, and a post from the Devils and Round Lake Men's Club says they hope to have enough ice this year to move forward.

The Devils and Round Lake Men's Club is a charitable non-profit, whose purpose is to "help the community with service, leaders, tradition, fellowship, and fun." The club has contributed to their community in a number of ways, including donating laptops to high school students bound for college, purchasing and donating over $8,000 worth of toys to Toys for Tots, and collecting pantry items on behalf of their local Kiwanis Club.

This will be the 70th Tip-Up Festival, and the schedule is packed with activities to mark the occasion. This year, proceeds from their benefit auction are going to benefit their community projects.

The festival runs from Friday, February 4th through Sunday, February 6th. Free hovercraft rides will be available throughout the weekend. The events of the weekend include the following:
