Unique Things to Do in Michigan: Backwoods Blues Trail is Worth the Trip
Updated: 4 days ago
Looking for unique things to do in Michigan that are a little different from the usual dinner, shopping or weekend routine?
On November 28, our Worth the Trip Tour is heading to Kingston, Michigan, for an experience designed to give you a reason to explore somewhere new.
Our stop is Beagio’s in Kingston, where we're bringing together three blues-inspired interactive experiences for one afternoon and evening.
This isn't a vendor show.
It isn't simply dinner out.
And you won't be sitting on the sidelines.
You'll be able to create something, sip something, step into an incredible portrait set, have dinner, laugh with your friends and make a memory along the way.
Choose one experience. Choose two. Or make the drive and experience all three.
And right now, you don't have to purchase anything.
Unique Things to Do in Michigan: Three Blues Experiences Coming to Kingston
One of the things we love about exploring Michigan is discovering experiences in places we might otherwise drive right past.
That's what Worth the Trip is all about.
For November 28, we're creating three completely different ways to experience a little bit of the blues in Michigan's Thumb.
The Blues Sip Experience
FIRST DRINK EXPERIENCE BEGINS PROMPTLY AT 4:00 PM - LEARN MORE
We're starting at the bar with something created especially for Blues in the Thumb.
This isn't simply ordering another drink.
The Blues Sip Experience at Beagio’s is a guided experience where you'll discover what goes into creating a signature blues-inspired drink—from the flavors and ingredients to the finishing garnish.
Grab your friends, take your spot at the bar and start your Worth the Trip adventure with something you may even want to recreate at home.
Prefer yours without alcohol? A zero-proof option will be available too.
Space will be limited.
Experience tickets NOW Booking!
The Vinyl Bar at the Backroads Blues Bender Trail in Michigan.
Pick a record. Make it yours. Take home the memory.
We're giving old vinyl records an entirely new life.
At The Vinyl Bar, you'll choose a vintage record and turn it into your own piece of blues-inspired art.
We'll have the supplies waiting—paint pens, lettering, stickers, embellishments and special Blues in the Thumb center labels.
Then it's up to you.
Make it vintage. Make it funny. Add your favorite saying. Create something for your music room, bar, office or favorite spot at home.
There isn't a right way to make one.
That's exactly the point.
You'll leave with something you created yourself and a one-of-a-kind reminder of your trip to Michigan's Thumb.
The Blues Portrait Experience
Step into the story.
If you're searching for unique things to do in Michigan, this definitely isn't your typical photo session.
We're building an entire blues-inspired portrait scene designed to make you feel like you've stepped into another place and time.
Think red velvet settee, vintage lighting, vinyl records, rugs, old cases and real musical instruments, including a saxophone, flute and bass guitar.
You don't need to know how to play a single note.
And you don't need to know what to do in front of the camera.
We'll take care of that.
You'll be guided and posed throughout the experience so your portrait feels less like standing in front of a backdrop and more like stepping onto your own album cover.
Come alone. Bring your spouse. Grab your best friend. Bring your mom or daughter.
Turn it into a girls' day.
Just bring a little personality.
We'll handle the rest.
Why Kingston Belongs on Your Michigan Day-Trip List
Here's the bigger idea behind this event.
When people search for unique things to do in Michigan, the same destinations tend to appear again and again.
But Michigan is filled with small communities, locally owned businesses and unexpected experiences that are worth getting off the highway to discover.
That's especially true in Michigan's Thumb.
Our Worth the Trip Tour is about finding those places—and creating new reasons to visit them.
For this stop, we're heading to Beagio’s in Kingston, Tuscola County.
Come for an experience.
Stay for dinner.
Order a drink.
Bring your friends.
Meet someone new.
And stay awhile >>> BOOK YOUR ROOM AT BEAGIOS!
Because supporting small communities doesn't have to mean simply telling people to shop local.
Sometimes you have to give people a really good reason to make the drive.
That's what we're creating.
