2008 Troutarama - Baldwin, Michigan

2008 Welcome!!!

Baldwin welcomes you to the 2008 52nd Annual Troutarama. Our festival runs from Wednesday July 23rd through Sunday July 27th in scenic Lake County Michigan. We're located at the junction of M-37 and US-10 in West Michigan between Grand Rapids and Traverse City near The Pere Marquette River.

Since 1957, thousands of people have annually met in Baldwin to enjoy themselves at the Troutarama festival featuring our Grand Parade, Arnold Amusements Carnival, Youth Fishing Derby, the DARE Car Show, and our Entertainment Tent including Casino Nights (lic. M40756) and live Musical Entertainment.

Now in its 52nd Year, the Troutarama committee is working hard to provide visitors and local residents a great time at the (now) five day event.

The Trout can't wait to be caught Friday and Saturday morning at the Baldwin Fish Farm from 8-10AM. Sorry, Dad, you must be between 5 and 10 years of age to catch these FREE fish.

Troutarama visitors like their music so there will be a free concert Thursday night at the Wenger Pavilion featuring the world famous Scottville Clown Band from 8 to 9PM. The band will close the Grand Parade on Saturday at 1PM as well as perform at the Entertainment Tent directly after the parade. The Entertainment Tent this year again proudly presents Dew South.

We have many, many more activities planned. We urge you to look over our schedule
