EVENT SPOTLIGHT

City of the Dead Muskegon

Tales are waiting to be told from behind the headstones.


Muskegon's past comes to life at City of the Dead! Wander through historic Evergreen Cemetery as local history steps out from behind the headstones.

Costumed interpreters share the stories of notable Muskegon County residents, bringing a fascinating piece of local history to life for one October weekend only. October 10 and 11.


ATTRACTION SPOTLIGHT

Muskegon Luge Adventure Sports Park

See autumn from a whole new angle at Muskegon Luge Adventure Sports Park.


Soar through the canopy of fall colors on the dual zipline at Muskegon State Park, taking in the changing leaves as you fly through the trees.

It’s part adventure, part sightseeing and a whole lot more fun than leaf peeping from the car.


Add a little adrenaline to your autumn adventure!
