You still have time to soak up the local spring activities before summer arrives. Check out our four favorite ways to spend a nice day in Vassar, MI.
1. Vassar Slow Roll
Cyclists of all ages and skill levels can take part in this very slow ride through the city of Vassar. Join your friends and neighbors for a 4.2-mile loop and enjoy a fun, safe way to spend a spring evening. You can even grab ice cream nearby when the ride ends.
Slow Roll occurs every Tuesday from Memorial Day through Labor Day. If you want to participate in Vassar Slow Roll, meet at T. North Pavilion at 6:30 p.m. (South Cass Avenue and East Spring Street). Check the official Vassar Facebook page to make sure the ride is on if the weather forecast looks questionable.
2. Annual Petunia Planting
If you’re looking for a way to serve the Vassar community, join the Annual Petunia Planting on May 20 at 9 a.m. Volunteers will help plant petunias throughout the town’s public areas. They’ll also provide petunias to Vassar residents who want to beautify their own properties. The event is organized by Keep Vassar Beautiful. The group holds events like Bingo throughout the year to raise money for the flowers in this volunteer initiative.
3. Vassar Farmers Market
You can shop for fresh produce, handmade goods, and other local items every Saturday from June through October. If you have items to sell, you can rent a vendor spot for just $10. The Vassar Farmers Market takes place at T. North Pavilion at South Cass Avenue and East Spring Street. It runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. each week.
4. Downtown Vassar Summer Concert Series
You’ll have eight chances to see live music in downtown Vassar this spring and summer.
