Businesses in West Michigan are hosting Halloween events throughout the month, giving you plenty of opportunities to celebrate. You’ll find everything from pumpkins and costumes to trick-or-treating and haunted attractions. There’s something for every ghost, ghoul, and witch, so bring the whole family for the Halloween fun!
Scary movies have swept the mainstream, and while you may be safe watching from your couch with popcorn in hand, there’s always an opportunity to come face to face with a ghost, mutant, ghoul, or zombie this time of year. Not only does West Michigan have stellar haunted houses, but there are also ghost tours, haunted corn mazes, and real ghost sightings around every corner. You may not want to visit these haunted attractions alone, so bring some friends and see if you can survive.
Fall in love with color in the greater Cadillac area with 4 area driving routes thru rolling hills with attractions and foodies along the way.

The area also offers trails along rivers and lakes with reflective color for perfect ‘ooohs and aaahs,' selfies, and photo ops good enough to hang in your living room.
Michigan locals and travelers alike have loved watching the trees change colors for decades. Back in 1937, WMTA reprinted a color tour map titled Flaming Forests of Michigan. Today, these routes hold up, but there are many new ways to experience these fall colors. From boat rides in South Haven to chairlifts up north, see how the trees have changed colors throughout West Michigan.
Overlooking a tree-lined bluff park with a view of Lake Michigan, The Boulevard Inn & Bistro is the area’s only all-suite, full-service hotel and restaurant.
