Michiganders are beginning to lean into the holiday season, as is evident by this week’s events. Highlights also include comic-cons in Michigan’s two largest cities, a Bigfoot festival Up North, and more.
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).
