SUMMARY:A Colonial Christmas
DESCRIPTION:The sun sets on the Straits of Mackinac. Fires crackle in stone hearths. The smell of treats and warm beverages fill the crisp winter air. Laughter\, conversation\, and more can be heard emanating from inside the palisaded walls. It’s ‘A Colonial Christmas’ at Colonial Michilimackinac\, where the traditions of the 17th and 18th century are alive for all to explore. \nLanterns light the path in Michilimackinac where storytellers recount the various traditions of historic residents\, a retelling of the first Christmas at Mackinac in 1679\, and the church at Ste.

All the while\, enjoy delicious holiday snacks located throughout the fort. #thisismackinac \nAdults: $16\nChild (5-12): $10.50\nUnder 4: Free\nMackinac Associates: Free
