Crisp
mornings, apple blossoms, dogwoods, tulips—they are sure signs of the
onset of spring. These are special occasions when witnessed and experienced
from your RV. April showers bring May flowers ... and many spring festivals
that celebrate the coming of warmer temperatures. Partake in the jubilation
of the Maple Syrup Festival (Vermontville), the National Trout Festival
(Kalkaska), Blossomtime (Benton Harbor and St. Joseph), the Tulip Time Festival
(Holland), the annual Alma Highland Festival and Games, and many more from
the comfort of your RV.

Autumn is a great time to visit one of the numerous
apple orchards and wineries across the state. Enjoy the brisk, fresh air
while sipping a cup of warm apple cider or biting into a luscious Michigan
apple. While strolling through the vineyards, take a moment to behold nature’s
beauty as you watch the leaves turn from green to shades of red, orange
and yellow. Some of the best fall colors can be viewed from the windows
of your RV. There are an abundance of fall festivals and celebrations across
the state including the Wine and Harvest Festival (Paw Paw), Oktoberfest
(Frankenmuth), Four Flags Apple
Festival (Niles), Paul Bunyan Days (Oscoda), Great Lakes Lighthouse Festival
(Alpena), the Pumpkin Festival (Bessemer) and America’s Thanksgiving
Day Parade (Detroit).

As
fall gives way to winter, there is no question why Michigan is referred
to as a “Winter Wonderland.” Create memories with your children,
making snow angels in the clean, unadulterated, first snowfall. That legendary
lake-effect snow supports over 45 downhill ski resorts, 5,700 miles of snowmobile
trails, and over 3,500 kilometers of Nordic ski trails—all across the
state. Dutch Winterfest (Holland), Tip Up Town USA (Houghton Lake), Winterfest
(Grand Haven/Spring Lake/Ferrysburg), North American Snow Festival (Cadillac),
Winter Carnival (Houghton), Snowfest (Cedarville and Hessel), and Winterfest
(Roscommon) are among the festivities honoring Old Man Winter.
