  I think its worth going go. They have a nice street craft show and a wide variety of things. Plus the shops downtown always have sales. There's also a beer tent all weekend in case you're looking for something to do at night too. It's where I met DH

  I go to it every year just because I used to always go as a kid.  In my opinion, it's not as good as it used to be, but it's still something to do. 

   We are usually closed at work that Saturday every year and this year we are not for some unknown reason.  We are all super annoyed about it because people will end up being late to their appointments since Grand River and Farmington road is closed for the festival.  Blah! 

  I am thinking about strolling through on Friday afternoon with P though.

  Totally worth it!  I may be partial since I live near downtown , but it is a lt of fun.  Rides and games for the kids, the farme;s markets, some crafters booth, food, beer, wine tasting, and there is a parade Saturday morning too that's pretty fun!  Everything is 80's theme this year - andrumor has it they are makig the Methodist church downtown look like the clock tower from Back to the Future.

   This. And I agree, the last few years have been kinda disappointing.

  Ok, I have to check it out, if only for this, since I grew up in the 80's (ages 6-15) & remember it pretty well.

  I've never been to it, but it's this weekend.  Has anyone gone to it, worth spending a few hours at it?

  I just drove through there at lunch & saw signs that there will be face painting, petting farm (kid stuff) tomorrow from 1-4 that you might want to check out. I think it was going to be at the Warner Mansion.
