Less than an hour’s drive from the hustle and bustle of city life, the quaint village of Romeo offers unique shopping, dining, and warm, friendly people. Recorded as being the oldest village in the state of Michigan, Romeo experienced significant growth during the years immediately following the Civil War through the turn-of-the-century. Many of the residential and commercial buildings in the village from that era remain and are in use today. The 3rd Annual Romeo Victorian Festival is a great way for all to enjoy a day of fun and history as we celebrate the unique heritage of Romeo.
