85th Annual

September 4 - September 7, 2009

Join us for the 2009 Annual Manton Area Harvest Festival...

What started as a Labor Day Field Day in the 1920's has become Manton's largest event. The Manton Harvest Festival, held over Labor Day weekend each year, includes one of the largest parades for a small town in Michigan--featuring the Scottville Clown Band

Other events include the Rotary Chicken BBQ, Manton Consolidated Schools Alumni Dinner, VFW bingo, an arts and craft show and sale, quilt show, wood carving, heavy horse pull, firemen pancake breakfast, talent show, and lots of country music!
