10 Spectacular Michigan Fireworks Shows

Across Michigan, cities and towns celebrate the Fourth of July with marching bands and cook-outs, red-white-and-blue bunting and a day at the lake. But the real Independence Day party begins when the sun goes down. Pack up the kids, load up the car and head out for a brilliant fireworks show in Pure Michigan.

4 Charming Small-Town Specialty Bookstores

Just outside the book-loving city of Ann Arbor, four small-town book shops are catering to unique, niche audiences–visitors and locals alike. Head out to the quaint, charming towns of Milan, Chelsea and Dexter to explore the worlds of comics, children’s literature, and well-loved secondhand books curated for bibliophiles.

Delicious Michigan Ice Cream Flavors and Where to Find Them

Michigan ranks fifth in the nation for ice cream production. That’s one SWEET title, but not too surprising considering the state produces a whopping 1.2 billion gallons of milk annually. Combine that with delicious local produce such as cherries and blueberries—plus dreamy summers perfect for snacking on frozen treats, and you have an iconic ice cream state.

Fantastic Fairway Getaways in Northern Michigan

Get maximum distance from your golf escape by adding fun side trips between rounds. It’s a win-win scenario: Pair a round of golf at one of Northern Michigan’s top golf courses with a nearby excursion to discover ATV trails, local wines and craft beers, elk herds, paddleboard and kayak adventures, casinos and big-name entertainment.

9 Highlights of the Thumb

The mitten-shape Lower Peninsula has a peninsula of its own—the thumb, a region wrapped around Saginaw bay that’s full of culture, maritime history and quant towns and villages. Explore the area’s hands-on attractions, a floating lighthouse, old-school shopping at general stores, brews, jazz, an aboveground obstacle course and an authentic Japanese tea ceremony.
