1. HarborFest June 14-15

2. South Haven Art Fair June 29-30
This juried art festival has a little bit of everything. The fair takes place just across the bridge from downtown - easy walking distance from both beaches and from the downtown shops.

4. National Blueberry Festival Aug 8-11

Southwest Michigan has been known for several fruits, but this festival recognizes the most popular from the area. There is a parade, a pageant and a craft fair - more than you ever expected from a Blueberry Festival - but trust me, it is not to be missed.
