The Origins of a Tradition
A Rich History of Celebration
The Byron Days Festival, a cherished tradition since 1939, has been a cornerstone of community spirit and celebration in Byron Center, MI. Established to bring together residents and visitors alike, the festival has grown from a small gathering to a beloved summer event. Each year, Whistlestop Park transforms into a vibrant hub of activity, featuring a lively parade, dazzling fireworks, and a variety of entertainment options. From the thrilling 5k run to the enchanting kids’ fishing tournament, the festival offers something for everyone. With its roots deeply embedded in local culture, Byron Days continues to honor its past while embracing the future.
