For the first time ever, the Lilac Festival Grand Parade was broadcast live on the internet and over 900 viewers in the United States and Canada tuned in for the event. The hour-long broadcast originated from the 2nd story of the Lilac Tree Suites and Spa and was produced entirely by the Mackinac Island Blog's own Mike Forrester.
If you weren't able to see it live, or just want to watch it again, here it is, in it's entirety. Enjoy!
We hope to see you soon on Mackinac Island!

There appears to be some updates and changes being done to this web site. Does any one know if the live feeds are back up? I have tried my own computer and a work computer, it appears that the site wants to run an add on program that gets blocked.…Continue

I found one website that had 3 trails not to miss on the island. I can't seem to find it again. The trails is Across The Turtle Back. I have looked on the map of the island I have, and can't find it there either. Can anyone help? Thanks!
