There is also an annual Howell Melon Run. While you're in the neighborhood, be sure to schedule tours of our favorite Howell homes for sale.
If you haven't made it out to the Brighton Farmers Market yet, we highly recommend stopping by before it wraps up at the end of summer. This downtown Saturday morning market runs from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. through October and offers fresh produce, homemade baked goods, flowers, and crafts. Plus, it often hosts live music. Visiting this festival is an excellent way to see all Brighton has to offer, including these beautiful Brighton homes for sale.
Take a stroll down Main Street in Brighton on September 11 and 12 and experience the amazing smells and delicious flavors of the Brighton Smokin' Rock-n-Blues Festival. In addition to award-winning barbecue, there are plenty of kid-friendly activities, adult beverages, and great live music. Public parking is available in downtown lots, and shuttle service is available.
Livingston County's premier outdoor concert series, Live At Millpond Park brings an exciting lineup of artists to the community. Bring a lawn chair or a blanket and listen to live local music on a warm summer evening. The Jill Jack Band performs August 20, Kari Homes on August 22, and Dave Bennett closes out the series on August 27, so there is still time to catch some great performers.
Another great Farmers Market that showcases 20 local vendors and has fresh produce, baked goods, art, and apparel, the Fowlerville Farmers Market runs every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. through October. This market is located in the parking lot in front of the Torch 180 Cafe, which gives you a great opportunity to explore downtown Fowlerville and these stunning Fowlerville homes for sale while you're there.
