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.

Each August, the Mackinac Island Fudge Festival celebrates this delight with music and activities throughout the weekend.

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

Indian River celebrates summer in Northern Michigan with Old Fashioned Days, an event with five days of family fun.
