Events Across Michigan
Michigan has much to celebrate.
Fortunately for visitors, we have no problem tooting our own horn, and not just at our vintage car festivals.
In addition to cherry red Ford Mustangs, we’re home to the National Cherry Festival in Traverse City.
And some of our dreamiest cruises are without wheels. Hear that romantic signal sound as your ship comes into port. Sail along snow-covered slopes as sleigh bells ring. Delight in the echoes of your own cries as they wash into a thrilling whitewater rafting adventure.
Oh, and honk twice if a fudge festival sounds like it would hit the spot.
The Great Lakes State boasts baskets of farm-fresh goodness, bevies of cool bands and music festivals and enough maritime heritage to power a fleet of boating bashes.
You don’t need to listen carefully to catch the sound of Michigan having fun. We’re not quiet about it. Let us show you how to join the merriment.
Open Cockpit Month
During the whole month of February, Air Zoo visitors will have the chance to climb into the cockpits of three planes-the Texan, Trojan and Skyraider. The open cockpit experience is complimentary with the purchase of general admission ($8).
Each weekday, one of three planes will be featured with an open cockpit. On the weekends, all three aircraft's cockpits will be open to the public. The open cockpit schedule is as follows:
- Feb. 1-6 and 6-10: North American AT-6 Texan
- Feb. 13-17: North American T-28 Trojan
- Feb. 20-24 and 27-29: Douglas 4D-4NA Skyraider
Due to the varying engineering and design elements, a weight restriction of 250 pounds is placed on each aircraft. Visitors must also have the ability to enter and exit the aircraft unassisted. Children wishing to sit in the aircraft must be supervised by their parents/guardians.
