February Michigan Event Calendar
Our Michigan February Event Calendar shows that the more the weather tries to keep us holed up inside, the more ways we find to get out and have fun!! Of course, there's still many, many more and we invite you to fill us in on other February events in the comments section.

Love & Wine in Northern Michigan
Cabin fever taking hold? Well here are a couple of great reasons to embrace winter in northern Michigan. On Febraury 6 & 7 the Leelanau Peninsula Vintners Association presents "Taste the Passion ~ Wine, Chocolate & Love". The following weekend as part of the Cherry Capital Winter WonderFest is the "Traverse City Wine & Art Festival Winter Wine Wonderland" on February 14th.

Tip-Up Town USA, January 22-24 & 29-31: Houghton Lake
For more than 20 years, Tip-Up Town USA has been acclaimed among the top ten festivals in the nation. Approximately 80,000 people turn out to enjoy the winter time festivities which include Ice Fishing contests, a carnival, parade, Polar Bear Dip, Broomball, Family Fun Tent, Beverage Tent, crazy games and more!
