Fairs & Festivals

People in Southwestern Michigan love to celebrate living here all year around. Yet it’s always more fun when you can join us! Come in winter when master carvers turn blocks of ice into sparkling art. Greet spring with the Blossomtime Festival and Grand Floral Parade. In summer, our communities plan festivities around art, music, boats, horses, blueberries, peaches and quilts.  Fall brings us together over apples, cider, wine and scary haunts.
