Middleville celebrates its heritage every year, and this year they have plenty to commemorate. In fact, it will take two days Friday, Aug. 19 and Saturday Aug. 20, to get it all in.

It all starts at 8 a.m. Friday with a produce sale in the pavilion downtown, crafts from local artisans, a bounce house and games for the kids, and a pie tasting contest. The Riverbank Music Series features the Nine Mile Smile Band at the pavilion in Stagecoach Park in the evening

Saturday at 10 a.m., a ribbon cutting ceremony at the trailhead on High Street officially opens the Paul Henry Thornapple Trail paved extension from Railroad Street to Crane Road

Also on tap are 5K and 10K runs, an antique car and tractor show on Main Street, the Great Lakes Cone Crushers, a skateboard competition with proceeds going to prevent human trafficking, the continuing craft show, food court and the parade at 1 p.m.

A first for Middleville, and Barry County, is Brewfest, Saturday from 1:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. with samples of 18 of Michigan’s best craft breweries, with over 50 beers and Michigan wines, as well as samples of foods from local restaurants.  Live entertainment will add to the Barry County Chamber of Commerce sponsored event.
