Weekly Event Flyer: The Happenings in the Haven
A weekly snapshot of the week's can't-miss events & special offers.
Welcome to South Haven, Michigan!
South Haven’s spectacular sunsets, celebrations, and welcoming harbortown have been drawing travelers to the Lake Michigan shoreline. Known far and wide as a beach destination, you’ll find everything from classic sugar-sand stretches made for pure leisure to rocky, natural shoreline that rewards a slower pace and a keen eye.
On the water, experiences range from easy cruises to hands-on adventures, with the Michigan Maritime Museum at the heart of our waterfront story. On land, outdoor recreation runs deep, from disc golf and biking to paddling, with Van Buren State Park, the Kal-Haven Trail, and Lake Arvesta Aqua Park all nearby. And in every direction, fruit belt country delivers u-pick fields and farm experiences, with South Haven proudly known as the Blueberry Capital of the World, celebrated each August at The National Blueberry Festival.
