Celebrate Buy Michigan Week with us. This event showcases only Michigan-based businesses to help fuel our local economy. It’s an incredible opportunity for local entrepreneurs and consumers to interact directly with one another. Buyers from retail stores also often come through to find new products to carry. Beyond that, the event is filled with uplifting entertainment, educational opportunities, and family fun.

Dining:
Food is a major highlight of BMNFest. Whether you’re looking to fill your pantry or just your stomach, tasty delights await at vendor booths and South Lyon eateries. You can try then buy at many booths, visit a food truck, or settle in for a sit-down meal.

Local Authors:
Showcasing local authors has become an annual tradition at BMNFest with dozens of Michigan authors, signing and selling books. Spread the word, the application for writers interested in participating in 2025 is now open. Eat local, drink local, read local.

Entertainment:
Music and merriment are staples at BMNFest. Check back closer to the August for our schedule of events. If you are interested in joining the party as an entertainer, email [email protected] with the name of your act, availability Aug 1-3, and a link to a past performance(s).

Family Fun:
Shopping is the focus of this event, and we’ve got plenty of it. However, you can also kick back with family and friends and enjoy live performances in different areas. The little ones will love a visit to the Kids Zone where they might find face-painting, balloon-twisting, games, activities, and special surprises.

Mascot Mania:
At BMN, we Love mascots, and welcome them at our festival. If your school, team, or Michigan-based business has a mascot, we want to invite them to join us for some special fun at the fest on Friday Aug 1. Email [email protected] and send us a picture of your mascot, along with contact info.

This year’s festival is located on Lafayette and Lake streets in the heart of Downtown South Lyon. The entire area is part of a social district so guests may sip refreshing beverages as they stroll. Whether your plan is to be a seller or a shopper, together we will revitalize our state’s economy, one product, one purchase, one person at a time.
