Nightlife
For many Mackinac Island visitors, the fun is just starting when the sun sets and the last ferry leaves the dock. That’s when the sounds of big band, folk, rock, country, jazz and blues fill the restaurants and pubs. The tunes mix with the relaxing notes of foghorns, waves, seagulls and horse hooves to create a symphony of Mackinac Island nightlife. Experiencing the afterhours vibe is a bucket-list reason to stay the night on Mackinac Island.

Did you know...
❔Native Americans believed the island looked like a turtle so they named it “Mitchimakinak” meaning “big turtle.” The French then named it “Michilimackinac.” Then the English shortened it to the current name; “Mackinac.”
❔The grand hotel has the longest porch in the world.
❔Cars have been banned from the island for over a century.
❔Mackinac Island is about 400-420 million years old!

💙 WHERE TO STAY WHEN VISITING MACKINAC ISLAND... 💙
•
Mackinac Island is a place that so many of you have told me you want to visit!! If you don’t know, Mackinac Island is a small island located in northern Michigan... and it is so adorable!! I would love to encourage each one of you to look into visiting the island!! And here’s where you should stay when you visit... missionpointresort 💦
•
Mission Point is a gorgeous resort located right on the lake! There are a plethora of rooms to choose from throughout the resort... including dog friendly rooms! In fact, Mission Point is the only dog friendly resort on the island! And don’t worry... it’s easy to get to the island with your dogs too!! Just take sheplersferry 🚢
•
Mission Point has so many things located right within the resort!! Bike rentals... restaurants... golfing... shopping... a spa... and more!! So much fun to be had right on property! 🎉
•
Mission Point is located such a short distance from the hustle and bustle of Main Street downtown! So, you’re just steps away from all the great things... like fudge from rybasfudge 😋
•
So, what do you think?!? Is Mackinac Island on your travel list?! ⛅️🌊
We LOVE hearing your stories and seeing photos from your trip to Mackinac Island. Don’t forget to tag us and use #mymackinac to be featured!
PS why yes we ARE counting down the days until we get to lie on the beach barefoot and soaking in the sunshine🤙
