Dancing Hippo With something for everyone of every age the fair has a long history of intrigue.

The Onaway Area Historical Museum's Dancing Hippopatomus Arts & Crafts Festival, also known as, The "Dancing Hippo" is one of the most unique Arts & Crafts festival you will find in Michigan! Visitors will not believe their eyes as they step back in time to an earlier era of craft festivals.

Come and enjoy the celebration as we continue the tradition started so many
