Have The Greatest Time At The Celebrate Meridian Festival!
If you have no plans this weekend and are looking for something to do, head out to Meridian Township. The Celebrate Meridian Festival starts tonight and will end tomorrow evening with a fantastic fireworks display.
I live in the area and have seen the fun and excitement that this festival brings. Weekends often bring roadtrips with the family to get out of town for a quick getaway, save your gas money and head out for some good times. The fireworks finale is dang impressive.
