Spring Lake Heritage Festival
A June festival week in Spring Lake that opens with a wooden and classic boat show at Mill Point Park and includes a free family fun night.
Heritage Festival is Spring Lake’s early-summer week, and it is a good reason to come before the July crowds. Most of the action happens at Mill Point Park.
The wooden and classic boat show starts things off. Later in the week, Family Fun Night has filled the park with inflatables, games, fire trucks and a scavenger hunt, all free. A food truck night and a car show have rounded out recent schedules. Each event has its own day and hours, so check the festival site before you plan around one.
What to expect
The week opens with the Spring Lake Wooden and Classic Boat Show at Mill Point Park. Past schedules have included a free Family Fun Night in the park, a food truck evening, an artisan market and a car show at the Spring Lake Harvest Campus. Events change from year to year, so check the festival site for the current lineup.
