Bay City is a lovely Michigan city located on the Saginaw River at its confluence with the Saginaw Bay. The city makes for an ideal weekend getaway for Michiganers, home to award-winning bed and breakfasts, charming riverfront parks, and delightful shopping and dining opportunities. Visitors can explore the unique Bay City Antique Toy and Firehouse Museum, which is home to the world's largest collection of fire trucks, or learn about the region's culture and history at the Bay County Historical Museum, housed within a former 1910 National Guard Armory. During the summer months, the Bay City Independents play vintage-style baseball according to traditional 19th-century rules. Visitors can also enjoy theater and music performances at the Midland Center for the Arts, hit the golf links at the Bay Valley Resort, or enjoy prime opportunities for camping and fishing at Bay City State Recreation Area.
