In 1978, the City of Owosso commemorated the 100th anniversary of James Oliver Curwood’s birth with a celebration centered around his castle. Since then, it has grown to three full days of activities for the entire family, with hundreds of volunteers working all year long and dozens of community organizations taking part. The festival commemorates Curwood in particular, and Owosso’s heritage in general and provides a weekend of fun, relaxation and homecoming. The entire city invites you to join in and enjoy the hospitality of Curwood Country. Help us in celebrating our 48th Anniversary in 2025! For the latest information on the festival events see the Curwood Festival Facebook Page/Instagram, or contact the Festival Office at 989-723-2161 or [email protected]. All of our events can be found on our website at www.currwoodfestival.com.  Voted "Best of the Best" Community Festival in 2024!
