The Venetian Festival in Charlevoix has been a highlight of summer in Northern Michigan for more than 80 years.

A unique event featuring a variety of one-of-a-kind exhibitors offering everything from yachts to boating goods for sale.

Take a beautiful color tour as you travel under a tunnel of colorful trees along M-119 from Harbor Springs to Cross Village.

Charlevoix has beaches on Lake Michigan and also offers the warmer swimming waters of inland lake beaches on Lake Charlevoix.

It’s just for kids–a fishing pond in Petoskey! Kids can throw a line in this one acre pond stocked with trout.

This Inland Waterway covers 38.2 miles from outside of Petoskey to Cheboygan. Find state parks, fishing, swimming, and more along the way.

North Central Michigan College’s Natural Area in Petoskey includes over five miles of trails that run through unique habitats.

Wilderness State Park’s 2,582 acres of natural area and 4,492 acres of wilderness area make this a great place to explore all year ’round.
