August Blueberry Festivals

,

Summertime in Michigan means a plethora of fresh fruits and vegetables growing throughout the Great Lakes state. We can celebrate fresh eating at farmers markets, corner stands and even festivals but the time is right to celebrate blueberries, now in season through August.

Packed with fiber, low in calories and loaded with Vitamin C and antioxidants, Blueberries are a great addition to your diet.   The superfood has also been linked to improving memory, fighting against cancer and reducing the risk of heart disease.

Celebrating Blueberries

There are multiple festivals happening in Michigan during blueberry season, all of which offer fresh, family-friendly fun.

  • National Blueberry Festival, South Haven – The 54thannual National Blueberry Festival will be held Aug. 10-13. The festival includes a basketball tournament, live music, downtown sidewalk sales, paint and wine classes, blueberry pancake breakfasts and more.

  • Montrose Blueberry Festival, Montrose – This hometown festival takes place Aug. 16-20. Take in a classic car show, pie eating contest, arts and crafts show and more. Parades, races and a carnival mean there’s fun for the entire family to enjoy.

  • Wild Blueberry Festival, Paradise – Celebrate the growth of wild blueberries at this festival, which runs from Aug 18-20. Enjoy art, music, nature and of course, food.

When you enroll in a Medical Weight Loss Clinic program, the length of your program will be determined by you and the staff based on the amount of weight you want to lose and how quickly you want to lose it. Your actual weight loss will be determined by many factors, including, but not limited to: your medical circumstances, the plan you choose, adherence to the meal plan and use of nutritional supplements. Your goal and program duration information will be given to you in writing at the time of enrollment. As your program progresses, the rate you lose weight may change and you will have the opportunity to discuss this at every daily visit with your weight loss consultant, where changes to your meal plan and/or program can be made.
