Michigan vacation spot is one of the best to enjoy the 4th of July

As our nation’s birthday celebrations quickly approach, people are thinking about where they will enjoy the festivities. There are countless options in Michigan, but one may stand out above the rest.

Still, it’s quite an honor to be among the 24 best places in America to celebrate Independence Day. But Michigan may be home to the most unique setting in America that doesn’t feature a historic American landmark.

Reader’s Digest has named the 24 best places in the country to celebrate Independence Day and Mackinac Island made the list.

Although it can be quite a trip for anyone just to be there on this holiday, many people take their summer vacations around this holiday, so a week-long stay makes perfect sense. Enjoy a few days of the activities the island has to offer, then immerse yourself in the patriotic joy of the 4th of July celebrations.

As most people know, there are no cars allowed on Mackinac Island, so there is more of a community atmosphere throughout the island, which may lead to a stronger patriotic sense of connection for some enthusiasts during their experience.

Of course, Mackinac Island has its own Independence Day traditions, including an annual stone skipping competition on the morning of the holiday. Later in the day, an incredible fireworks display lights up the sky, with the mighty Mackinac Bridge providing the perfect backdrop.

Of course, Mackinac Island is just one of many incredible fireworks displays and festivities in the Mitten State during the Fourth of July weekend. The biggest and best of them can be found here, and a detailed list of all the events is below.
