Downtown Petoskey Holiday Parade & Open House
Fall in Northern Michigan signifies pumpkin patches and hayrides, fall wine tours, downtown Petoskey Trick or Treating as well as many more community events. Petoskey is such a great little midwest town. Sitting on the shores of beautiful Little Traverse Bay, it’s one of those few places that you can walk downtown and chances are you’ll see a few friends, family and neighbors along the way.

Petoskey boasts so many great little shops and events that’s it’s fun to get out of the house several times a month, head downtown and have coffee, cocktails or dinner and then enjoy walking around downtown. With Halloween only a few days away, this past Saturday was Petoskey’s annual downtown Trick or Treating event. We happened to be out of town this year and my kids and I really missed participating. It’s so fun to dress up every year and walk around downtown and check out all the fun and unique costumes. Most downtown business’s participate and even have some in-store specials for parents. Looking a head to November, Ladies Opening Night is a huge hit for the women in your life and then we have the Stafford’s Downtown Holiday Parade Thanksgiving Day weekend as well as the Downtown Holiday Open House, the first Friday night in December.
