If you want to be outdoors, you can take a scenic walk along the Blue Water River Walk, tour over 51 points of interest on the Blue Water Trolley, cruise the shoreline with Huron Lady Cruise, and explore beaches within walking distance. At night, discover some of the entertainment hotspots at Wrigley Center, Bootleggers Axe Co., or the beer garden at Casey’s on the Plaza. 

If you would rather be inside, browse unique boutiques on Historic Military Street in Downtown Port Huron, experience passionate performances at live theaters, or get creative at the Foundry.
