5 reasons to be excited about the
2019 Flower & Art Fair

For Immediate Release:
Lake Orion, MI

While the ground may be covered with snow, gardeners know now is the time to start thinking about Spring. Here in Lake Orion, that means we get excited about The 19th Annual Lake Orion Flower & Art Fair.

This festival traditionally celebrates the beginning our of our time to play in the dirt, to buy beautiful presents for our Mama's, to enjoy Art in the street, and to see our friends outside on streets finally free from snow and ice.

Our goal is to keep creating reasons for celebration and this year we have exciting news! Lake Orion will be hosting the DIA Inside/Out art installation, April 15 - July 15. What this means is pieces of art from their collections will be placed OUTSIDE all over Lake Orion! Tours led by docents of the museum will be scheduled during the festival, as well as an onsite Art Workshop which will hosted by DIA staff and placed among the vendors out on the street. It's truly an honor to have this world-class institution here to help us inspire curiosity, spark creativity, and to re-imagine our collective future in the Village of Lake Orion.

Here are more reasons to be excited about the Flower Fair.

20 Front Street has already booked our 18 live stage acts and they're ready to sing their hearts out from the Gazebo in Children's Park.
The Orion Art Center is partnering with Lockhart's BBQ to bring us a Beer Garden in the Award-winning Flint Street Alleyway. The Beer Garden comes complete with adult beverages and smoky, delicious treats straight from Lockhart's BBQ street-side grill.
Our newest downtown gardening center, Fogler's Greenhouse & Farm Market, plans to bring you a sampling of vegetable plants, flowers, and baskets. Best of all, you can get more right down the street at their new location next to Jacobsen's Flowers.

These are just some of the details we are getting very excited about during the Flower & Art Fair. What else are we looking forward to? YOU!
