Michigan may be cold in the winter, but the events calendar is hot! Nestled right in the midst of the beautiful Great Lakes region, Michigan is a top destination for nature lovers, boasting more than 12,000 inland lakes and a longer coastline than almost any other state (after Alaska). From the busy streets of Detroit to the serene natural splendor of its parks, there's a lot to see and do for visitors to Michigan, and plenty of exciting events to keep them entertained.
There's nothing like scenic beauty to supplement performances by your favorite artists, and Michigan's Electric Forest Music Festival delivers with eight days of EDM's best set amidst the woods of western Michigan. Another summertime favorite is the Mo Pop Festival at West Riverfront Park - a popular multi-genre festival in the heart of Detroit. Catch major touring acts in Detroit's Little Caesars Arena, enjoy intimate acts at The Loft in Lansing or head north to enjoy theatre, film and more at the City Opera House, a historic venue built in Traverse City in 1891.
Football fans will enjoy seeing the Detroit Lions take the field at Ford Field, while baseball lovers can head over to Comerica Park to see the Detroit Tigers play.
