Port Huron's stunning waterway as well as its
diverse annual events makes it a tourist destination
all year long. Along Port Huron's southern end flows
the St. Clair River. As you travel through historic
downtown and the beautiful Pine Grove Park, you'll
turn along the Thomas Edison Parkway and experience
a breathtaking treat. You'll see the expanse of
boardwalk with Canada so close you'll feel like you
can reach it. The sight of the twin spans of the
magnificent Blue Water Bridges that connect Port
Huron to Ontario, Canada under which is the mouth of
Lake Huron is an incomparable view. Waving proud and
huge in the plaza under the bridges are the American
and Canadian flags erected there by the community in
honor of emergency services. Beaches, parks, unique
shopping, golf, hiking, camping, biking, river
cruises, cross-country skiing, fishing, and boating,
sailing, ice skating, freighter-watching--- the list
goes on!
Port Huron's most famous annual event is the Port
Huron to Mackinac sailboat race. 82 years old, it's
the largest freshwater sailing event of its kind in
the world. With over 300 contestants, the event
brings boaters and tourists from all over the world
to what has become a weeklong festival of parades,
vendors, and parties.
Port Huron is home to both professional and amateur
hockey. The Port Huron Flags, an expansion United
Hockey League team, play their home games at the
McMorran Arena in downtown Port Huron to an
enthusiastic home crowd. The North American Silver
Stick Hockey Finals are held annually in Port Huron
and is one of the nation's premier youth hockey
tournaments, drawing thousands to town in January.
