Fennville
is located in the southwest region of the state, right along Highway 89, between the towns of Holland and Kalamazoo. It is also just a seven-mile drive east of Lake Michigan. Fennville began as a mill town in 1862, and today is an agricultural community nestled amid peaceful farms and picturesque orchards. It's known as "Goosetown," due to the many Canadian Geese that make Fennville their home at the State Game Area just south of town, and an annual Goose Festival is held here each year during the third weekend in October. Recreational activities in the area include fishing, boating, hiking, biking and golf, cross country skiing and snowmobiling. Plus, Fennville is just minutes to Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids, and the artists' communities of Saugatuck and Douglas. Lots of local fairs and festivals are held throughout the year in the surrounding towns, like the Holland Tulip Festival and the Blueberry Festival in South Haven. The community of Saugatuck offers activities all year long, including monthly arts and crafts fairs. Other points of interest near Fennville include a huge antiques show at the Allegan Fair Grounds on the last Sunday of each month in April through September, also the Allegan County Fair in September and Keewatin Nautical Museum.

Fennville Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Southwest Michigan has four seasons that are greatly influenced by Lake Michigan. Summers tend to be sunny as the cool water of the lake chills the air near the Earth's surface, producing a stable atmosphere. The lake also helps modify summer high temperatures, making the state a popular vacation spot. Autumn is too cool for swimming, but is a great time for other outdoor attractions. Although the Upper Peninsula is cooler, the temperature ranges in the far northern and far southern cities do not differ excessively in Michigan. What is known as lake effect snow squalls brings locally heavy snows to the area. Michigan is on the fringe of the Midwest tornado belt, but sees less of this activity than other parts of the country.
