Yes!!!
It is in Plymouth, and it's one of the biggest festivals in the Midwest. Be prepared, it is super-crowded! We live on the south side of South Bend, and for us it is worth every bit of the drive. We always go on Sunday afternoon, hang out, eat fair food, then head back to the school (where we always park) and watch the BEST fireworks display! You can actually watch them from inside the park and have a really great view, but it's really crowded, and our kids are small, so we don't want to be too close with the noise. Plus by being near our car, we can avoid at least some of the traffic leaving.
Tons and tons of food, lots of rides, and gobs of booths!!!

Love it !
I loooove the Blueberry festival and always look forward to it!! We mainly go for the crafts, they have TONS of arts and crafts! They have really great food!! I believe there is also a parade and they have music and rides. It's a pretty good time. I highly recommend it. Oh yeh, its FREE to get in!!!
I did find a website for you...it'll probably give you more information than I could have :-)
And oh yeh, its in Plymouth, very easy to get to from US 31...

OMG IT IS THE BEST
OMG IT IS THE BEST. WE GO EVERY YEAR. WE GO ON SUNDAY BECAUSE THEY HAVE A HOT AIR BALLON GLOW AND THEN FIRE WORKS. THEY HAVE THE BEST KETTEL CORN EVER YOU HAVE TO GET SOME AND DON'T GET THE SMALL BAG YOU HAVE TO GET THE BIGGEST ONES. THERE ARE SO MANY CARFTS THERE I GO THERE AND FIND THINGS THAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR. THEY ALSO HAVE RIDES THERE TOO.IT IS A REALLY GET WAY TO SPEND SOME FAMILY TIME TOGETHER. BUT THE FIRE WORKS ARE THE BEST!!!
I'm out
I personally went one time and thought that there was no way I would go again. It's to far, it's soooooo crowded and I felt like I was at a big craft fair. I don't have a sitter and so I have my kids, and to me it's just not fun. I know tons of people that love it, but it's not for me. I would say if you are a garage saler it's worth the drive to hit all of the garage sales that are out along the way. To me it seems like miles of garage sales.

its ok
We go for the parade and thats about it. I heard that the fireworks are good but with young kids and dusk is later than it was, we don't go. The festival is good if you like crafts and stuff. But food and rides are expensive and we just can't swing it with a family of 5. When we go to the parade, we take a cooler and munchies because we don't go into the festival to buy food. The kids like the parade and its normally pretty decent.
thanks
thanks everyone i think im going to go check it out!
