Spring Events are Popping Up

After a yearlong slumber, spring events are popping up across the region. One way to immerse yourself in the region’s culture is to visit one of the many festivals. Did you know that the people who settled in this region migrated from cities across Europe and, more recently, world-wide, bringing their customs and rich cultural roots. We celebrate our diversity!

We are sharing some of the bes spring events from around the region to help you plan your next 9 Lakes adventure.  April, May, and June are full of fun events that will appeal to a range of tastes.
