Northern Michigan Festivals
Grab your sweetie and head north!
Northern Michigan festivals run all summer long and really are some of the best Sue and I have enjoyed. In saying that, don't forget Fall and winter are special seasons up north as tourist traffic slows down. Some of these festivals in Northern Michigan may be smaller but still tons of fun.
This makes it a wonderful time for that special romantic getaway. Enjoying the beauty of fall colors only ads to the excitement of the fall festivals and harvests.
Our Art Fair page has listings for Michigan's west coast beachtown events.
After Thanksgiving Michigan beach towns dress up for Christmas. A snowy day, exploring the small shops will surely put you in the holiday mood. You'll find holiday Bazaars and events made truly enjoyable by the spirit of the season. A Michigan winter wonderland experience.
Here is list of events we know you will enjoy.
