Holiday in the Haven

Celebrate the magic of the season at Holiday in the Haven! Join us in downtown South Haven for a festive day filled with holiday traditions, family-friendly activities, shopping, and plenty of Christmas cheer.

Start your day with the Michigan Maritime Museum's Parade Pre-Party, browse the Mistletoe Market at the South Haven Center for the Arts, and enjoy ornament making, ice skating, and other seasonal activities throughout town.
