Magic is in the Air

Bay City is full of the magic of yesteryear and it is steadily returning. The newest spark to our growing area is Drift. An open-air beer garden with a family-friendly atmosphere and relaxed vibe, the Drift is located at 1019 N Water Street and will be open weekends as a food truck park and beer garden while construction on the building is in progress. These early open weekends are fundraisers for nonprofits who greatly appreciate your support. They are open Friday and Saturday evenings from 4pm - dusk.

Locals and visitors alike all have great memories of enjoying the waterfront from this property. Our partnership team is dedicated to bringing back this gem of a place. "Drift will be a place for families and friends to just be together.  We hope to have programs like outdoor yoga for kids, provide an area for children to run and play, and even have water bowls and biscuits for dogs. Parents can relax at our custom-made bar with a cold drink and delicious food as they watch their little ones having a good time outside," Acosta says.

Drift has plans to evolve over time. Currently, their docks are awaiting final permits for reconstruction. Soon, boating guests will be able to dock and enjoy some time relaxing outside on the massive patio or sit at the bar for a break from the sun.
