The Blissfield River Raisin Festival is hosting its 41st year of free, family fun, which will be held the second weekend of July, 2025. The festival is hosted on the banks of the River Raisin it celebrates in Ellis Park on the east side and beautiful Bachmayer Park on the west in the shadow of the "three bridges" made famous in Ripley's Believe it or Not. A fourth bridge now crosses the river to the south of the triple bridges which carry rail, vehicle and foot traffic.
