The 2023 Festival of Trains is here!

Admission is $5 per person for everyone 5 and up – 4 and under free! Or buy a $30 Festival Pass and bring your family of up to 5 free each day the festival is open. That’s 14 days if you buy it by the time the Festival opens on Saturday, December 16th!

The Festival of Trains takes place in the gymnasium at Creekside Community Church and fills it wall-to-wall with tables of trainsets. Modern and antique trains travel around the tracks, tended by Engineers from the Northern Michigan RailRoad Club (NMRRC). The engineers have set up interactive buttons so even the youngest engineers visiting the Festival can control a part of the action.

The swap meet is the perfect place to pick up a few odds and ends for that train set you’ve got stored away, or when it’s time to lay down the tracks with the next generation. All funds go to the Rail Road Club and Children’s Museum to fund their operations as 501c3 charities.

This holiday season you’ve got a ticket to fun – all aboard the festival of trains! Choo! Choo!
