National Trout Festival
The National Trout Festival is an annual festival held in Kalkaska, Michigan the last full weekend in April to celebrate the opening of trout season in Michigan. The 83rd National Trout Festival will be held 21–25 April 2021. 2020 was cancelled as the COVID-19 pandemic was to blame. It was also cancelled in 1942–45 because of World War II.
Events of the National Trout Festival include a fishing contest for children aged 16 and younger, a carnival, parades, fireworks, motor sports and live music.
