Festival Friday
July 17, 2026
10:00am - 6:00pm
We can’t wait to welcome you to Festival Friday! It’s the lead up event to Dowagiac’s Summer Festival on Saturday. Participating businesses both in our historic, central business district on South Front Street and throughout town are planning special promotional events.
From summer clearance, sidewalk and tent sales, and food and dining experiences, to a variety of in store activities, connect in person with your friend group over a coffee, a meal or fancy beverage and for a full day of shopping.
Additionally, Southwestern Michigan College’s annual Steve’s Run will kick off at 6 pm from Downtown Dowagiac.
South Front Street will be open for parking all day Friday between Division Street and south to Main Street, but will be closed on Saturday.
