The Mackinac Island Christmas Bazaar is a fundraiser for the Mackinac Island Medical Center as well as St. Anne’s Catholic Church, Little Stone Church, Trinity Episcopal Church and the Mackinac Island Bible Church.

Each year, the Mackinac Island Community gathers together to celebrate the Christmas season by giving back. For three days people meet, talk, bid, eat, and buy, all for the sake of raising funds for these entities.

The annual Christmas Bazaar will be Friday, December 6, through Monday, December 9. The bazaar starts with the tree lighting ceremony downtown Friday night at 5:30 p.m.

Throughout the weekend, Community Hall will be the site of shopping, meals, and an auction.

A snowmobile is the grand prize for the annual raffle. Tickets are $2 each and can be purchased at Doud’s Market.
