A Bushel of Community Spirit!

The excitement of Blueberry Festival can be felt in every corner of South Haven! From the farms and u-pick fields, to Blueberry Central Market at Huron Street Pavilion. Feel the energy off the court during the Bobby Walker Basketball Tournament, and cool off in shady Stanley Johnston Park for the Chamber of Commerce's Blueberry Craft Fair.
