2020 BLISSFIELD RIVER RAISIN FESTIVAL UPDATE:
After much consideration and soul searching, it is with great sadness that the Blissfield River Raisin Festival Committee is announcing the postponement of the 37th annual River Raisin Festival to July 8-10, 2021. This postponement is due, in part, to maintaining the health and safety of our many thousands of visitors throughout the weekend. There is also much uncertainty that remains around the coronavirus (Covid-19) and the timing of the opening of our state for fairs and festivals.
Our sympathies go out to the many vendors, entertainers, our carnival company and the community as a whole. We also would like to thank our valued sponsors for their support. Our festival would not be able to operate without them. We were expecting an exceptional festival this year, and we will continue to put that effort into the 2021 Blissfield River Raisin Festival.

About Us
The Blissfield River Raisin Festival is hosting its 37th year of free, family fun, which will be held the second weekend of July, 2021. The festival is hosted on the banks of the River Raisin it celebrates in Ellis Park on the east side and beautiful Bachmayer Park on the west in the shadow of the "three bridges" made famous in Ripley's Believe it or Not. A fourth bridge now crosses the river to the south of the triple bridges which carry rail, vehicle and foot traffic.
There is no admission to the River Raisin Festival and the stage entertainment as well as many children's activities are available at no cost, allowing a family to come for a day of fun, bring a picnic and spend nothing. This is possible by the support of sponsoring businesses and organizations.
In addition, there are rides, concessions, exhibits, merchant vendors, crafts, games and more. Fireworks highlight the Friday night fun; Saturday kicks off with the big parade through the village of Blissfield.
The Blissfield River Raisin has won honors as the Best Festival in Lenawee County several times.
We look forward to hosting you along the banks of the winding River Raisin in the quaint village of Blissfield, Michigan!
