Thanksgiving is a busy weekend in Northern Michigan as several special events kick off the holiday season in style. While Black Friday is busy everywhere, in Northern Michigan it is more personal with shopkeepers greeting you to announce their specials.

This 25-year-old rite of spring in Northern Michigan is a bike ride from the Zoo Bar at Boyne Highlands, Harbor Springs, to Mackinaw City.

Harbor Springs is situated on a natural, deep harbor, and this tiny, beautiful community offers great events and festivals for all.

The Emmet-Charlevoix County Fair is held at the fairgrounds on Charlevoix Avenue, and is a mix of carnival rides, food, exhibits, and more.

The Oden State Fish Hatchery in Alanson produces three strains of brown trout and one strain of rainbow trout.

Northern Michigan is home to several different museums for people of all ages which highlight the area’s businesses, history, and culture!

Get off the ferry from Mackinaw City or St. Ignace to Mackinac Island and the first thing you’ll see is the historic downtown area.

The many ski resorts in Northern Michigan have winter activities for the entire family including sledding, sleigh rides, tubing, and more.

Get the sleds and the skates out, put on the cold weather clothes, and enjoy sledding and ice skating in Northern Michigan.

The Harbor Springs History Museum offers a unique look at the history of the community, starting with the first Catholic missionaries.
