Experience Michigan's Most Iconic Motorcycle Celebration
The Baldwin Blessing Fest celebrates the 54th Anniversary of the Blessing of the Bikes in 2026, a legendary tradition that began in 1972 when 8 riders and 4 motorcycles gathered at St. Ann's Catholic Church. Today, it's one of the biggest weekends of the year in Lake County, drawing riders and visitors from around the country to kick off the riding season together.
This family-friendly event is attended by bikers and non-bikers alike from around the country and is open to everyone. Downtown Baldwin marketplace on M-37 features vendors, food, and all-day browsing alongside thousands of motorcycles lining the main stretch through town. The market features vendors who sell leather and other items, with tattoo artists also on-site.
The event's highlight is the Blessing of the Bikes, traditionally held on Sunday at the Baldwin Municipal Airport area. Visitors can enjoy live music, vendor booths, food trucks, scenic rides, and memorial displays, creating a full weekend of fun and fellowship.
Even if you aren't a biker, the event is worth the trip just to see thousands of motorcycles all in one place!
