National Blueberry Festival
August 8-11, 2024
South Haven is proud to be known as the "Blueberry Capital of the World" because Michigan, and particularly Van Buren County, ranks as the nation's leading producer. The four day Blueberry festival will be held in various locations in and out of doors in the Lake Michigan Beachtown community of South Haven, Michigan. Many events take place overlooking South Haven's picturesque harbor, our Lighthouse and Lake Michigan.
Top events are a Kids' blueberry pie eating contest, top-tier free evening entertainment throughout the festival, Blueberry pancake breakfasts, Blueberry Festival Parade on Saturday, Arts and Crafts Fair on Saturday and Sunday, Downtown Sidewalk Sales, Blueberry Festival Cook Off, 5k Run/Walk and Rotary club fly-in, Classic Car Show and Pancake breakfast at South Haven Regional Airport.
