Blossomtime Festival

Late Apr - Downtown St. Joseph

Join us for the 114th Blossomtime Festival celebration, the oldest and largest multi-community Festival in the state of Michigan!  With a fun filled week of wholesome family entertainment, the festival features Parades, Pageants, a 5k Run/Walk and more!

The Southwest corner of Michigan has long been regarded as a premier fruit growing region by consumers, manufacturers and chefs.  The rich sandy loam soil, moderate spring temperature from the close proximity to Lake Michigan and the tempering effect on summer by the lake contribute to produce fruits and vegetables of exceptional cosmetic appearance and superior taste. The area has long been known for flavorful peaches, sweet Niagara grapes, a wide variety of apples, melons, vine ripened tomatoes and tart cherries.  This diversity continues to expand into even more vegetable crops along with a recent surge in specialty wine grapes with local wineries producing selections for every taste.

We hope you get to join with us in celebrating our beautiful Southwestern Michigan!
