Sun-Soaked Fairs + Snowy Candlewalks

For a charming, rural town its size, you might not see these festivals coming. But the annual Saginaw County Fair, with its bustling midway and booming grandstand events — or the magical Santa’s Village its grounds transform to each holiday season? They’re right at home here.

From summer’s Fireworks in the Park to winter’s snowcapped Christmas Candlewalk — enjoy a small handful of homegrown events, sprinkled all throughout the year in Chesaning.
