25+ Easter Events in Southeast Michigan in 2017

Easter is quickly sneaking up, and since so many area events sell out, I thought I’d put together a big list of ideas for easy planning during the month ahead. I’ve covered fun around Ann Arbor, Detroit, Flint and Lansing.

Bring on the Reese’s Eggs…and hopefully warmer weather in the weeks ahead 😉

{I’ll continue update this page, so let me know what I miss!}
