The Fairgrounds are located at 6905 Eastman Avenue in Midland. Admission is $5 per person, with children ages 11 and under free. Festival hours are Saturday from 8 am until 6 pm, and Sunday from 8 am until 4 pm. According to their website, you can find:

• Free antique appraisals at the Fair Center building on both Saturday and Sunday

• An exciting new classic car show - DJ/Bandstage/Giveaways in the car area.
• Expanded Swap Meet and For-Sale Car Lot

• A variety of food and refreshments are available for purchase.
• The May Festival features a Swing Dance performance by the Midland Swing Dance Group.

80 acres is a lot of ground, so wear your comfortable walking shoes and maybe grab the umbrella.

There will be up to 25 vendors selling their wares. Be sure to visit their tent and take a look at the great Michigan-made products.
