St. Ignace- The Small Town with Big Events

St. Ignace proclaims it is a small town with big events. This year we have already been to 2 of those of events and had a great time at both. First it was the Labatt Blue Pond Hockey (check it out here) in February and recently it was Bronco the Mac. 

When the opportunity to take part in Bronco the Mac we knew we had to do it. A weekend full of all things Ford Bronco, including modern Broncos along with great classic Broncos. This year the event included 288 Broncos. The highlight, and namesake for the event, is a Bronco filled crossing of the Mackinac Bridge. There was also a Bronco parade through downtown St. Ignace, a drone show and trail rides. Pair all of this with restaurants and others things to do in St. Ignace for a fun filled weekend.
