Belle Tower of Petoskey
A Historic Venue for Community, Craft, and Celebration.
Belle Tower of Petoskey is a historic 1891 church in downtown Petoskey, being restored and reimagined as a community-centered venue for events, performances, classes, creative studios, small business incubation, and cultural gatherings.
Located at 224 Michigan Street, Belle Tower is becoming a place where preservation, creativity, entrepreneurship, and community life come together under one historic roof.
A New Chapter for a Historic Petoskey Landmark
Belle Tower began as a place of gathering, worship, and community connection. More than 130 years later, the building is being brought back to life as a flexible public venue and creative hub in the heart of downtown Petoskey.
The project honors the building’s history while creating new opportunities for local artists, musicians, teachers, wellness practitioners, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, families, and visitors.
From concerts and community dances to workshops, weddings, studio rentals, fundraisers, markets, lectures, and private celebrations, Belle Tower is designed to support the people and ideas that make Northern Michigan special.
Restoration Is Underway
Belle Tower is an active rehabilitation project. Exterior improvements, painting, floor refinishing, plumbing, and early interior work are helping prepare the building for expanded community use.
The long-term vision includes restoring the building for safe, flexible, year-round public use while preserving its historic character and architectural presence in downtown Petoskey.
Every donation, rental, ticket purchase, volunteer hour, and studio partnership helps move the project forward.
