Another year, another Ann Arbor Art Fair 🎨👩🏼🎨 It's one of our favourite summer events, and for good reason! For starters, we get to do one of our favourite non-chocolate activities, making lemonade 🍋 We juice + zest lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruit (yes, this does make the manufactory smell amazing) and combine this with simple syrup. Cue the Art Fair, and we wheel out our giant, bright yellow lemonade stand to attract passers by (along with maybe just one or two calls of "Lemonade, get yer ice cold lemonade here!) 📢 We serve our Bon Bon Bon lemonade with sparkling water to make it extra refreshing, and a little bit fancy ✨
Our second Art Fair tradition involves branching out into the world of frozen good goodies 🍦We team up with our good friends Blank Slate Creamery and create three mini ice cream sandwiches based on three different Bons 🍫 This year saw the return of the highly coveted salty caramel ice cream sandwich, with new and improved toasted white chocolate mendiant pieces. Alongside the salty caramel was the tried and true non-dairy coconut ice cream, and a brand new addition inspired by the Creamsicle Bon (did we mention that it's rolled in rainbow sprinkles? 🤩) There's nothing more satisfying than biting into an ice cream sandwich and hearing the 'snap' of frozen thin tempered chocolate 🙌🏼
In between slinging lemonade, ice cream, and last but not least, BONS, we managed to get away and explore some nearby tents 👀 We visited our old friends Honeydew Moon Studio and Seven Magpies Pottery, and even made some new ones when we got distracted by the most adorable stickers at the Stuck on Michigan booth 🥰
To top it all off, we were visited by some amazing doggos, the best customers, and we kid you not we even got to pet a snake named Butters who was out enjoying the Art Fair with his family 🐍 Bring on Art Fair 2026!
