Join the Great Michigan Scavenger Hunt in Brighton Howell Area!

May 1, 2022

Keep a close eye out for hidden treasures this week when scrolling through your social media feed and the Brighton Howell Area! Explore BHA  has teamed up with over 30 destinations around Michigan to celebrate National Travel and Tourism Week for a statewide scavenger hunt!

National Travel and Tourism Week (NTTW) 2022 is ready to celebrate the #FutureOfTravel. The last two years hit the tourism industry hard with closures, record job loss, and a lack of in-person connections. Now, we are ready to focus on what is next—a future where travel is once again the heartbeat of communities and businesses, welcoming travelers to dive into what you can only experience here—and in person. Here in Michigan, we want to celebrate the Future of Travel with you by encouraging you to explore not only Brighton Howell Area but by connecting you with other destinations around the state and encouraging an epic summer road trip!

Stay tuned to our social media from May 2nd – 6th for clues to where some special Michigan goodies are waiting in Livingston County! Check out these Michigan destinations and the gift cards available throughout the Brighton Howell Area!

• Alpena, Michigan – Explore the shipwrecks of the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary in an experience like no other aboard the Lady Michigan glass-bottom boat. The crystal-clear waters and Lady Michigan’s large ‘glass bottom’ viewing wells allow you to dive the wrecks – without getting wet. During the 2-hour cruise, you will experience the magnificently preserved shipwrecks and the scenic shorelines of Thunder Bay. Learn the exciting tales of many famous ships and Lake Huron’s history, legends, and lore.
