=== Mendon Riverfest ===
Each year, the village celebrates the Mendon Riverfest at Reed River Park on the banks of the [[St. Joseph River (Lake Michigan)|St. Joseph River]]. This festival began in 1987 at the historic Wakeman House, but relocated around 1989, when the size of the festival became too large for the venue. The Mendon Riverfest takes place annually on the  third weekend in August, from Thursday through Saturday. Some of the signature activities include the Lip Sync Contest, the Canoe Swamp, Casino Night, and the Toy Boat Race. On Saturday night a fireworks display is set off over the banks of the St. Joseph River.
