You usually need an Allen Key to get into Allen Park, but during the festival, it's open to all,…read moreand by all, I mean, all white people. I think I saw about 10,000 white people at this festival. And about 1 black person. Yes, 1. And about very few, if any, Hispanics, and about zero Asians. But hey. It is what it is. Other than the racial demographics, it is a lovely Festival in one of my favorite neighbourhoods of Michigan. Some of the best pizza slices in the world are in these parts and if you wander the Allen Park Street fair you will find lots of cool stands and coolinary (intentional mis-spelling) delights. And a lot of the stores along this area will sell stuff outside the front of their stores. Just a great Festival although - as I said - you will notice there is very very little ethnic diversity.

This is one of my favorite street fairs in Michigan…read more It's a large fair, hundreds of diverse booths, crafts, food etc. Great entertainment, and lots of local stuff going on. Always includes the annual Hall of Fame inductions, a 5k run and many other activities. I've been going for several years now and it just seems to keep growing.

Negative feedback time! I've never done a post like this…read morebefore, but feel it's DUE!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT vending for Uncle Sam Jam in Woodhaven. #1) All communications were done via phone calls, no paper trail of promises. (Learned my lesson THERE!!) #2) Promised me a "fairway" placement because my product is "too cool for the crafters area". I would have NEVER paid $1k dollars for a one weekend CRAFT show. I believed I was paying for a premium placement at a MUSIC festival. I reiterated my spot may be wrong during setup, but was reassured that WAS the fairway. It was not. It was the entrance to the carnival, 95 percent of guests power-walked right past us. This "fairway" was behind the stage and not visible from there, with NO SIGNAGE or promotions on their sites stating vendors were involved . #3) took ZERO consideration of booth placements, placed three jewelers next to each other, two candy vendors next to each other, BUSKERS who distracted and scared away guests right in the middle of us. The poor handmade BBQ sauce booth was placed with FOOD TRUCKS and has sold a big ol $300 by SUNDAY NIGHT. (Day FOUR) #4) Any feedback I've given to the organizers has fallen on deaf ears, only stating they did INDEED place me on the fairway as promised. States it's probably not my demographic, (guitar string jewelry at a music festival?, Ok!) Had they charged a FAIR PRICE for their booths, I would have made enough profit to pay for another show. However I only made my money back on costs of goods sold. Now I get to rebuild all my merchandise for free. They are refusing a partial or full refund. I DID NOT GET WHAT I PAID FOR. No wonder all the vendors we met were first timers like us, they probably don't get many return vendors treating them like THAT. I will NOT return to Uncle Sam Jam.

My daughter loves to go to the Uncle Sam Jam every year. Rides are very safe and supervised.read more

We love Wyandotte Street Fair! There are many art vendors set up, it takes hours to mosey on…read morethrough the entire event. We like to grab up some eats when we are there; freshly baked cookies, fresh squeezed lemonade, tacos, poutine, pierogies, elephant ears, cupcakes, corn dogs, and so much more! You can even grab snacks for your pets. There are alcohol vendors set up. You may sip some adult beverages as you stroll. The event runs from Wednesday to Saturday, make sure you check it out!

Had a fun time at the 2021 post-Covid event. There were plenty of interesting things to see and buy…read morein a variety of price ranges. I love seeing how creative folks are. We parked in a pay lot right next to the action and for the convenience, it was worth it. We drove over after work, about 30 minutes, with the intent of doing a stroll through the vendor tents and then grabbing dinner at one of the great restaurants in the area. It was a perfect plan! We always have a good time in downtown Wyndotte, no matter what the occasion. Such a picturesque place. This was a nice local event and a perfect evening out!

First time's the charm! Found this beauty on Facebook when I was looking for something new to do…read more It's a festival celebrating the lavender harvest in Milan. MI. For one day only, before the lavender is harvested, you can take pics of the fields and enjoy a small town festival, with jazz music, French crepes, handiwork, and lots of products made with lavender. From essential oils and sachets, to dried wreaths and soaps, to scones and honeys, etc. Catch it while you can!
