Paw Paws Wine And Harvest Festival This Weekend September 8-10
The annual Wine and Harvest fest in Paw Paw has returned, September 8th - 10th and will have fun for all ages.
With wine tasting the most obvious part of this festival, some may not realize the full list of events for this three-day event. Paw Paw is known as Michigan's wine capitol and St. Julian is the largest and oldest in the state. There is still the harvest part of the event and the celebration that goes with it. There will be a car show, 5k run/walk, food, arts and crafts and of course carnival rides for the kids. Here is the full list of events from the Wine and Harvest website.
