Cherry Festival 2023 is a wrap. We made a decent showing this year. I know many locals (and I must consider myself one now that I live here) avoid the crowds, but I find the Cherry Festival a great event every year.
My highlights:
Watching the air show from Greilickville Park.
On the Fourth of July, we listened to Skillet and Theory of a Dead Man from a boat floating on the bay outside of Open Space. An adult beverage or two was consumed.
That was followed by fireworks over the bay:
Wednesday was Candlebox and 3 Doors Down. Andrea and I saw 3 Doors Down at Common Ground in Lansing many years before, before the new city market existed. It rained a bit, but that didn’t stop anything.
Thursday was a low-key day – I rode my bike down from the hills into the festival to the food vendors, paid $10 for an Italian sausage, and listened to some music.
Saturday we watched Larry the Cable Guy and Jeff Foxworthy.
My one regret is that I didn’t have an Elephant Ear. I need more fried dough in my life. I will not make that mistake again.
