This week’s itinerary is a prime example of how varied the fun in Michigan can be.
Highlights include a beer festival on the beach (with camping) in Muskegon, a music festival in the Porkies, and a Civil War reenactment in southern Michigan.
As always, I’d love to hear your suggestions! If you know of an upcoming event you want me to highlight, send me a note here (please send suggestions at least one week before the event).
