The Calhoun County Fair has all the fun rides and tastes you hope– plus the oldest fair building in the state. Watch the Hometown Idol or Marshall's Cruise to the Fountain and enter your fair photos for the contest!

Classic cars, bands and a parade are just a few of must sees at The Festival of the Forks in downtown Albion, but the true celebration is within Albion’s rich heritage. Since 1967, the festival has been held each year in celebration of the founding of Albion---the creativity and diversity of a small mid-western community with a strong loyalty for its people and its future. What a show! The renowned Battle Creek Field of Flight Air Show and Balloon Festival promises to WOW you. Every summer, dozens of balloons fill the sky over Battle Creek, offering an extraordinary sight. Your jaw will drop when you witness the raw and amazing power of today’s military aircraft, an all-star aerobatic review, salutes to our soldiers and veterans, and

spectacular aerial feats. But it doesn’t stop there. You will certainly want to stay for the amazing concert & nightly entertainment lineup that is always brought to Center Stage. Closing out the year, make sure to bundle up and join in the festivities during the annual International Festival of Lights in downtown Battle Creek. You won’t want to miss the beautiful array of lighting throughout the holiday season, the professional ice-sculptors furiously carving their creations for all to see or the gingerbread “art” which is too pretty to eat. Throughout the county you will find endless activities to enjoy for a day or weekend. Bring your entire family and explore what has made Calhoun County a must-see event destination.
