The sun sets on the Straits of Mackinac. Fires crackle in stone hearths. The smell of treats and warm beverages fill the crisp winter air. Laughter, conversation, and more can be heard emanating from inside the palisaded walls. It’s A Colonial Christmas Saturday, December 10, at Colonial Michilimackinac in Mackinaw City.
Mackinac Associates helps fund projects both large and small and this past year was no exception with nearly $200,000 in projects sponsored across Mackinac State Historic Parks sites and operations.
By mid-October, the North Woods have transformed into a vibrant autumn tapestry of copper, gold and crimson. Bring a camera, binoculars, or your own favorite way to enjoy 3.5 miles
Experience Colonial Michilimackinac after the sun sets. More information to come. This event is by donation. #thisismackinac

Before the Straits of Mackinac became a center of international fur trade, its waters were renowned by generations of Native Americans as an abundant fishery. Of the many species in these freshwater seas, the delicate whitefish, usually weighing 3-5 pounds, was the most prized catch of all.
The recreated light company of the 8th Regiment, along with Canadian civilians, will visit Michilimackinac and demonstrate a variety of military and domestic chores from the 1770s. All special events
