    I enjoyed Taste of Ann Arbor but there are legitimate criticisms of it having really long lines. I…read moreavoided the crowds by getting there early. I bought tickets when the festival started at 11:00 AM and hardly anyone was there. I walked through the entire festival and ordered what I wanted between 11:00 AM and 11:45 AM. It starts to get very crowded by noon. By that time it looked like you'd have to wait an hour in each line to get anything to eat. I left soon after it got busy. At $1.00 per ticket, the festival is an excellent deal to get a sampling of all the restaurants along Main Street. I spent $40 on tickets and was able to order quite a lot including main dishes, dessert, an alcoholic beverage, and pastries to go. Despite its flaws Taste of Ann Arbor is worth attending. Just get there in the morning and your experience will be better than those having to wait in long lines in the afternoon.

    My friend and I had a wonderful evening here! The live music added a great vibe to the event,…read morethough it was a little loud if you had to stand by the speakers when waiting for food. There is a huge variety of food, from ice cream to pretzels to Mediterranean food to tacos to Indian food to Jamaican food to fried chicken and waffles. There was something for literally everyone. The crowd was in great spirits, and the lines were fairly evenly-dispersed, so there was never too long of a wait. There isn't a ton of seating, but it was just enough and no one had to wait to sit and eat. It was a lot of fun, and I can't wait to go back next year!

There's a lot of vendors. Food trucks were mostly by the center park area, some random ones are down the side streets from the park. Bring a hat or umbrella. Doesn't appear the earlier rain had much impact as far as the crowds much.

    We came on a Saturday and parked in the shuttle lot. The…read moreshuttle is $8/a person and was nicely air conditioned (badly needed for a hot hot day)!! The ride is about 15 min but the shuttle is comfy (it is a huge bus)! You pay at a tent and don't need a ticket. The shuttle dropped us off right at the end so we could start from the side (there are many vendors). It was right by the fire station. It was very hot walking through but we did find a market that was perfectly air conditioned to cool down in! We bought a refreshing Acai bowl at Wander Bowls Acai, a cookie from Chocolate Chipped Bakery (SO good and they give you a coupon for a free cookie at their farmington location), and a birthday card from the store Vitrine (also nicely air conditioned and has the cutest things)!! We saw the blue fountain, chalk art, music performer, the jurassic park dinosaur, etc. Overall, the vendors are great but it was a crazy hot day and so we didn't have enough energy to walk the whole thing. Loved what we did get to see and I think it is worth attending!

    I'm not quite sure where the heritage part comes in for this festival -- maybe BBQ is a local…read morespecialty and the different BBQ trucks count? Eager to get out of the house and try something different, I headed over to the Ypsilanti Heritage Festival recently. I love local festivals and figured this one would be worth checking out. Be prepared to walk a few blocks or else pay $5 or more for parking. The $5 was being called a "donation" but the organization soliciting them wouldn't let you park without paying that amount. The last time I checked, that was called a fee. I guess now I can say "Been there, done that." It was mostly booths from religious organizations or selling the type of knickknacks you might find at the state fair. After making a trip around the festival area and not finding anything too interesting, I decided to head up to Depot Town and grab a bite. I'll upvote it a star because admission is free. Next year, I'll skip the festival and head straight to dinner.

    Imagine a super fun town festival. Then imagine they sucked everything fun out of it. That's what…read morethe Ypsi heritage festival is all about. It wasn't all bad, but it was far from what I would call a good festival. The best part was the live music. That was great. There were also lots of awesome causes and charities that I hope did great. Some of the tents were really interesting. Some exotic birds, old motors, and various food to try. What made it lame for the most part was the various political agenda tents and religious agenda tents. I'm not going to a festival to have someone cram some political or religious affiliation, down my throat. It wasn't just a few. There were a lot. And maybe even a worse of an offense was the cheese and checkers "expert". Dude was just sitting in the middle, letting everyone just sit at the tables to eat, while he read a book. I wanted to throw down, and take that title. I guess it wasn't meant to be. I'm not sure if there are in the later portion of the day, but there were no drinking tents in the afternoon. It's alright to kill an hour or two, but this festival is nothing to special to remember.
