Curwood Festival
The annual Curwood Festival is held the first full weekend in June in honor of James Oliver Curwood (1878-1927), who wrote 33 popular adventure novels and who built Curwood Castle in his hometown, Owosso, as a writing studio. Many of his stories became motion pictures, including 'The Bear', which had its U.S. Premier in Owosso.Each year Curwood Festival Inc. hosts a celebration of the City of Owosso's heritage. A major part of every year's festival is the Annual Curwood Festival Parade.
