Lakeside Weekend Adventures
Time for a trip to Bay Harbor, Petoskey, Walloon Lake, and Harbor Springs
May 18, 2024
The little lakeside corner of the world made up of Bay Harbor, Petoskey, Walloon Lake, and Harbor Springs is always full of things to do, but never more so than over Memorial Day Weekend. First, shop til you drop with the Bay Harbor Memorial Weekend Sidewalk Sales May 24-27. If that’s not quite enough exercise—we do find carrying all those shopping bags taxing—sign up for one of Stafford’s Top of Michigan races, with 13.1M, 10K, and 5K options to run in Petoskey on Saturday, May 25. Then take your tired legs over the Walloon Lake’s Wet Paint Art & Craft Show (May 25-26 from 10am-5pm) to see painters, sculptors, mixed media art, functional art, and other interesting creations. Oh, and don’t forget to stop by the opening days of summer farmers markets in Petoskey (May 24) and Harbor Springs (May 25)!
