What to Do This Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day Weekend, a time to honor and remember those who have served and fallen in the United States Armed Forces, has also become the unofficial start of summer Up North. Whether you’re a local or just visiting for the weekend, this week's Northern Express - sister publication of The Ticker - rounds up some fun options to start Michigan’s favorite season. From the May Swirl in Petoskey to the New York Bee Gees concert and Bayshore Marathon in Traverse City to the Beer and Brat Festival in Thompsonville, you'll find a variety of ideas for kicking off summer.

The Northern Express is available to read online, or pick up a free copy on newsstands at nearly 700 spots in 14 counties across northern Michigan.
