Events to attend in Michigan

Do you know when you only want to go out and enjoy your city or even your state? The feeling that can go along when you find a new place to can is “how could I not have done this before?” is automatic. For this reason, we separated some events in Michigan that you can still attend in January and enjoy Michigan.

Firstly, if you love good movies about the most impressive ocean and Great Lakes films from around the world to pass the time with your family and live up the northeast part of Michigan, you should consider attending the 2023 Thunder Bay International Film Festival. The events occur between the days 26 to 30 of January, in the Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center.

The 2023 Thunder Pass, which includes all the sections of the events, cost $100. If your choice is to attend one night, it will only cost $30 per ticket.

For more information, you can reach them by phone (989) 884-6212 or by email at [email protected].

 

Perhaps, if you would like to Finnish culture, you can pay attention to the shenanigans of Heikinpäivä hosted by Hancock’s Finlandia University. The event will occur for a whole day on Saturday, January 28th, in the City of Hancock. The events also count with The Heikinpäivä parade featuring creatures from Finnish legend, and the legendary wife-carrying contest (an obstacle course that sends married couples careening from one bizarre station to another).

The program also includes a kicksled race, musical performances, cultural and craft-making workshops, and a traditional Finnish contra-dance with a live band. The cost to participate is to the Iltamat, which is a dance & buffet, and the last event scheduled activity is $ 15 per person.
