The 13th Annual Lake Orion Flower Fair has a lot more to offer than just flowers.
The event, to be held on Friday and Saturday, in downtown Lake Orion features ten well-known green houses and boutique nurseries but also brings artists, crafters, specialty food vendors, home improvement stores and so much more to the streets of downtown.
And, in case you didn’t notice, the event coincides with Mothers Day on Sunday.
‘We are really proud of the work that has been put into overhauling the DDA’s Flower Fair,? said Suzanne Perrault, director of the Lake Orion Downtown Development Authority. ‘Our goal was to make this event a Mother’s Day tradition along with providing great exhibitors and vendors plus a good selection.?
Here’s a rundown of what to expect:
Flower Alley is home to ten well known green houses and boutique nurseries such as Wojo’s and Hens and 2 Chicks. Flower Alley is located on West Flint St. between Lapeer and Broadway streets.
Arts & Crafts Blvd, new to the Flower Fair, consists of more than twenty five artists, crafters and specialty food vendors selling quality handmade goods, gifts and food. Expect to see everything from garden d’cor to painted slate tiles to botanicals soaps to the tastiest fudge. Those vendors will be on South Broadway between Flint and Front streets.
Home Improvement Way is where you’ll find plenty of idea starters and the companies who can transform your dreams into reality.
