By Beth Milligan | April 3, 2026

The second annual Michigan Sauna Fest will take place in Traverse City's Clinch Park April 10-12, allowing participants to enjoy different styles of saunas along with refreshing dips in West Grand Traverse Bay and a festival Social Area.

Returning for its second year, the festival will "host several new saunas from around the state, consolidated areas for beverages and merchandise, and more community space for games and relaxing," according to an event release. The Social Area will feature sponsor and vendor tables, food trucks, fire pits and games, music, lectures, breathework, and other activities.

The Social Area is free and open to the public. To enjoy the saunas, attendees can purchase all-access VIP tickets (now sold out) or single-session passes that provide 90 minutes of access to all saunas during a specific time block.

"We believe that our community needs access to more fun, social, wellness-oriented events in the region’s off season," organizers said in the release. "We are excited to provide another option!" Tickets and information are available at MichiganSaunaFest.com.
