Made in Michigan
We’re Celebrating All Things MICHIGAN
Two great days of shopping, eating, drinking, and dancing – Michigan style!
The 2023 Made in Michigan Festival is the state’s premier celebration of everything that makes our state great. With so many fun activities, there is something for everyone:
SHOP! With over 100 vendors, the Michigan-Made Market is packed with everything from euchre boards and Great Lakes art to Michigan-shaped patio chairs and jewelry.
EAT! We’ve got soup to nuts – literally. Food trucks and snack vendors serve up every Michigan favorite: pasties, fudge, sliders, BBQ, and more.
DRINK! No one goes thirsty with our selection of Michigan craft beer, cider, wine, and seltzers. And of course, Faygo pop.
PLAY! The Mitten Kids Activity Zone bursts with crafts, activities, children’s entertainment, and more.
DANCE! Whether it’s roaming street performers or the region’s best bands, your toes will be tapping well into the night.
