    Southwest Michigan's spring festival honoring the fruit-growing country, shared by some two dozen communities, with the Blessing of the Blossoms and a Grand Floral Parade that crosses the river from St. Joseph into Benton Harbor.

    Late April to early May, ending with the Saturday Grand Floral Parade.

    From the record. Established 1906 and described as Michigan's oldest multi-community festival; the Blessing of the Blossoms began in 1906 with Rev. W. J. Cady.
