Go Bananas!
Catch the first-ever Petoskey Banana Bread Festival
Jan. 25, 2025
Every town needs a little friendly competition…with delicious spoils for all involved. So here’s to the inaugural Petoskey Banana Bread Festival which takes place on Feb. 1 at Grandpa Shorter’s Gifts in downtown Petoskey. The premise is simple: Competitors will bring their very best loaf (with a list of ingredients) to Grandpa Shorter’s to be judged by a three-person panel. The bake-off has four categories: professional baker, amateur baker, child baker (ages 14 and younger), and gluten-free baker. All participants are guaranteed a little something sweet—a $25 Grandpa Shorter’s gift certificate and a pair of banana bread socks—while the winner of each category goes home with $250 in gift cards for local businesses. And other spots around downtown will be getting in on the banana fun with specials and deals. Get all the details at grandpashorters.com.
