The Howell Melon Festival is back again for another year. Instead of all the craziness that comes with the Howell Melon Festival (Grand River being shut down) this year, Grand River will be open and the festival will be cozy and compact. Vendor tents will be open Friday evening and Saturday all day so be ready to shop unique businesses, food trucks, and arts & crafts vendors. Buying a melon is a must as 200,000 melons are sold each year. Be sure to grab tickets for the Melon Classic Golf Scramble, Melon Ball, Howell Melon Run, and the Mainstage Concert.
