The Great Pumpkin Roll 

T'is the season. On October 27 - buy a pumpkin, then roll a pumpkin! Bring your friends, family, and pumpkin enthusiasts to enjoy a laugh and watch pumpkins roll down a hill. This simple activity is bound to be the highlight of your weekend. There will be prizes, treats, and award for best costume. After the roll is over, "Trunk or Treat" and walk through the Haunted Woods. The pumpkin roll starts at 4pm and the pumpkins will roll here.

After a long day of travelling, Best Western Harbour Pointe Lakefront is your final pit stop. Sit back and enjoy lakeside views in the "bedroom of Mackinac Island." 

Fall is a popular time to travel to Mackinac Island and see the colorful leaves all around you. Book in advance to avoid disappointment, and most importantly, make the most of the fall season before winter sneaks up on us.
