Victorian Festival Activities - September 2009

Northville celebrated its 21st annual Victorian Festival on September 18-20. The Festival began with the traditional parade on Friday and continued throughout the weekend. The streets are closed to automobile traffic as townspeople, artists, and business owners turn back the clock and transform themselves into a Victorian Village complete with period costumes, free trackless train and horse and carriage rides, storytellers, magicians, musical entertainment and demonstrations. Visitors can enjoy a unique experience in Northville's own historical village, Mill Race Village, who offer docent-led building tours, tea room, duck race, country store, music and games for the young and old alike.
