Here’s what’s happening in Michigan this weekend (Jan. 23-25)

This weekend’s weather might not be the most ideal for outdoor activities. But if you’re feeling brave, there’s still plenty to do across Michigan.

Highlights include a massive Finnish winter festival in the UP, a spicy food festival in Grand Rapids, and more.

Since the weather is expected to be dicey this weekend, I suggest checking the official event pages for cancellations or postponements before heading out.

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).
