Riding the line between peak tourist season and cold weather season, spending time on Mackinac Island in June is a gamble that can swing either way, depending on the weather and the attractions visitors wish to experience. A major event that will likely sway the decision of many potential visitors is the Mackinac Island Lilac Festival, a 10-day festival held on the island that includes many special events. During the Lilac Festival, guests can enjoy horse-drawn carriage tours, a variety of concerts, wine tastings, a dog and pony show, and A Taste of Mackinac, a special culinary event.
