Spring is an exciting time on Mackinac Island. There has been a lot of hustle and bustle in the island’s downtown business district. Hotels and shops have all been putting the finishing touches on off-season renovations and construction projects.

Mackinac Island Tourism Executive Director Tim Hygh told MLive,

"Spring is an exciting time around Mackinac Island as we gear up and prepare to welcome guests back. For 2021, several Mackinac Island businesses have worked overtime to complete exciting updates and improve the experiences they provide, despite the challenges brought on by the pandemic. It’s going to be a great year!”
