4. Taste of Kalamazoo

The Buzz -- Held at the historic Arcadia Festival Site, this summer event celebrates the best Kazoo has to offer in the way of food and wine, music and art. More than two dozen area restaurants participate in the festival, staging cooking demonstrations and tantalizing the public with everything from rattlesnake sausage to Bananas Foster. Under 21 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian after 7pm.
