EVENTS:
Cass City, home of astronaut Brewster Shaw, sports an impressive recreation area, complete with baseball diamonds, lighted tennis and basketball courts, playground equipment, picnic facilities and a community swimming pool that hosts classes and open swimming. It's a hub of activity in the spring and summer months. Speaking of summer activity, this village is home to one of the biggest and most action-packed 4th of July festivals around.

The annual event draws thousands from the Upper Thumb and the state to this tiny haven which exudes friendliness and hospitality. People line the streets of Cass City for the monster parade before heading to the park for various activities. Games for kids of all ages, arts and crafts and the flea market are big draws. Dozens of teams enter the 3-on-3 basketball tournament, and the festival wouldn't be complete without the antique cars and renowned fireworks that light up the sky. Summer also brings with it Summer Mania at the beginning of August. From town-wide garage sales to the petting zoo or the bicycle rodeo and car show/cruise/street party, this town is serious about summer fun for everyone. Of course, with the winter months comes Christmas in the Village with a craft show, carriage rides and Santa's arrival, to keep the fun rolling throughout the year.

Two golf courses and a first-rate library round out the various recreational gems. And anglers will find great fishing at the Cass River while hunters set out at the state game hunting areas. The downtown is home to an abundant amount of specialty shops, perfect for a day of shopping. So whether it's the high-energy action the town's festivals supply or a more relaxing pace on the golf course or strolling through the downtown shops, Cass City truly is home to “something for everyone."
