1. Want a unique experience for your 4th of July fireworks this year? Why not head to Muskegon for the SS Milwaukee Clipper Revival Party and Fireworks Party?
The ship is more than 100 years old and is the last of her kind - and your $10 admission goes toward the ship's restoration.
The party starts at 5 p.m. on the 4th with a silent auction, dancing, trivia, ice cream, and of course fireworks. This party is BYOB.
Head to milwaukeeclipper.com for information.
