South Haven's National Blueberry Festival has run for 58+ years, anchoring Van Buren County — Michigan's leader in blueberry acreage.
Michigan is no longer the #1 blueberry state — Washington, Oregon, and Georgia all surpass it (Michigan was 4th in 2023 at 86.8M lbs) — but South Haven's 'Blueberry Capital of the World' claim holds: nearly 300 growers and ~18,500 acres within a 50-mile radius is the largest concentration of blueberry farming in the world.
