“The purpose of this organization shall be to promote activities and programs throughout the Montrose area that will have a beneficial effect upon the quality of life within. A first consideration shall be the improvement of recreational facilities, followed by other activities deemed worthy and beneficial by the Directors. A constant consideration shall be given to community improvements with the aim of promoting community strength, well-being, and harmony.”

Modest words from a group of men who, with vision and planning, sought a way to improve the quality of life in the small community of Montrose, Michigan. From its humble beginnings in 1972 until today, the Montrose Blueberry Festival has become a recognized symbol of community volunteerism and spirit. Hundreds of volunteers give countless hours each year to guarantee the event’s success. That success can be measured by the hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions the festival has made to the Montrose community and by the simple fact that the event has lasted so long.

So join us as we celebrate our 39th annual Montrose Blueberry Festival.

Thanks go out to all those participating in our first annual Blueberry Festival "Kick-Off" Car Show.  We had 53 amazing vehicles including three motorcycles; great tunes; really hot weather; and plenty of prizes for all.  Many, many thanks to all our wonderful trophy and prize package sponsors; we could not have pulled this off without your support.  Thanks also to DJ Rob Mata, the Oasis Shriners for good food and cold drinks, our great judging panel, and special thanks to our dedicated volunteers who worked all day despite the 95 degree heat.
