The Lakeview Festivals Committee is more than just an event planning group—they’re a team of volunteers passionate about giving back. With a mission to “promote the Lakeview community through family-focused events”, the committee coordinates a full year of activities designed to bring people together.

The committee operates with a strong purpose:
To give back through service by working together with individuals, groups, and businesses.

Their values—Compassion, Excellence, Integrity, Respect, and Teamwork—guide everything from planning logistics to welcoming families into the fun.

Lakeview comes alive through these hallmark events:

Lakeview Summerfest – A summer celebration full of energy, food, and fun

FallFest – Embracing the beauty of autumn with family-friendly activities

Christmas in Lakeview – A winter wonderland filled with holiday cheer

Halloween Decorating Contest – Local creativity lights up the town each October

Joe shares how these events have evolved over the years and why they remain so meaningful today.

At the heart of every festival is a belief in community, connection, and celebration. Whether you’re a Lakeview native or a Montcalm County neighbor, this episode reminds us of the power of small-town togetherness—and the people who make it all happen.
