March 7 – The Ride at Mercy Health Arena! It’s a stationary bike race comprised of around 60 teams that battle it out for time, team spirit bragging rights and of course good health. It’s a fun event but there is a BIG purpose behind it. The funds raised go to help those who receive Mercy Health’s world class heart care in Muskegon get the follow up they need. From specialized equipment to scholarships to participation in rehabilitation, this is an amazing outreach and community benefit for anyone impacted by heart issues in Muskegon! 16 years and going strong. A great way to build community and help others. Search Mercy Health – The Ride
March 14 – The Muskegon St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Steps off at 11 a.m. at 4th and Clay and it’s a great parade!

With all of the bars, restaurants and breweries now only a street away from the parade route, you might as well stick around and celebrate the wearing of the green in Muskegon.
