    Just a fun homemade- community made festival and parade. We have never been to the Friday night…read morepart of the fest, we attend the Sunday parade. We have been going from time to time since the kids were really little, at least a decade. We have not always made it out here, but we were able to attend this year then take a nice walk around the city. This is a fun little event, nothing fancy, but great for all ages and the kids love the bubbles.

    The kickoff to the Ann Arbor festival season and by far one of the funnest gatherings in town…read more Festifools is split up into two events--the original and flagship "Festifools" and a younger twilight party called "FoolMoon." Here's the dish on each. Firstly--Both typically take place on the second weekend of April. FoolMoon goes down on Friday night and Festifools on Sunday. FoolMoon is a night time processional through several streets of Ann Arbor made up of locals who have made luminaries and are dressed up in lovely glowing garb (in the weeks leading up to FoolMoon you can attend luminary workshops to help make your own or buy kits at a few local shops like Downtown Home and Garden). The processionals all end downtown by Washington and Ashley for a nightime block party filled with cool sights, light projects and shows, beer, food, music and merriment. And all those eye popping and impressive luminaries. The party, on a nice weather night, goes until midnight. So it's truly a party. In general FoolMoon is my favorite of the two and is one of my favorite things to do in town. Sadly this year it was raining and I'm just not built for elements like that so I didn't make it down but next year I shall be sure to return. Festifools is what they call "a gigantic public art spectacular, created by members of the community and U of M students." Folks get together in the weeks leading up to the event and make huge papier-mâché puppets (most of which need several people to help control) which they then take to Main Street and march in a parade (along with costumed revelers and marching bands) for folks to enjoy. The puppets typically veer into the silly, the surreal, and maybe a little creepy. This year I saw some Pac Man ghosts (silly), big headed replicas of notable locals (the surreal), and a big fat baby with a phone that said "send nudes" (the creepy). There was also a huge Vincent Van Gogh, little kids dressed up as robots, Chinese dragons, an octopus controlled by about 10 walkers, and so so much more. This event is short, it only runs about an hour (4-5 pm) but they pack in a lot into it. Lots of fun, great for kids, pet friendly (I walked my dog down to watch the processional), and most importantly-- FREE! Great cheap fun for the whole family! Or just curious onlookers on the street! Happy to have such a cool, creative community in town working on this. Hoping they continue this tradition for many many years into the future!

    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.

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.
