WHAT’S THIS WEEKEND ALL ABOUT?
Michigan has a long culture of sauna and other thermal therapies. We wanted to create an event to celebrate that, while giving people a way to warm up, gather together, and have some fun in these cold Spring months.

SOUNDS FUN! HOW DO I PARTICIPATE?
We’re taking over the whole Clinch Park parking lot. We’ll have games, music, firepits, NA beverages, food trucks, and more!

The Sauna Peninsula (on the East side of the Marina Parking Lot) requires a pass to enjoy and explore the different saunas. We have 90-minute sessions scattered throughout Saturday and Sunday. You can book on our website, or if there is space left, walk-ins are welcome on the day of.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
It’ll be chilly outside, so bundle up! If you’re going to enjoy the sauna, clothing is required and most people wear a swimsuit. We’ll have changing tents on site.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING (OR NOT BRING)?
You won’t need much to enjoy the public part of the festival, just some warm clothes and good boots! Bring along cash or a card if you’d like to purchase festival merch, or food from one of the food trucks.

For the sauna, bring 2 towels, water, sandals to move between saunas / the bay, and whatever you’re wearing.

Per our permit, alcohol is not allowed at the festival.

I’M HUNGRY AND THIRSTY - WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?
We’ll have beverages from Higher Grounds, Shorts, Cultured Kombucha, and Sauna Water. Peace Love and Little Donuts will have a donut station Sat and Sun morning, and we’ll have Phat Matt’s food truck and Kumite ramen all Saturday and Sunday!

At Sleeping Bear Saunas, we believe that nature is an integral part of the experience. 

That’s why we offer portable saunas that you can rent and set-up anywhere you want - year-round. Your favorite beach, crowded in a blanket of snow? A creek-side retreat, nestled in the woods? Stargazing on an August afternoon? Summer doesn’t have to be the only time you feel the warmth of the outdoors. 

So what do you say, sunset over the Manitous, immersed in Lake Michigan in May?

MSF participating sauna highlight: .sauna
Juniper and Co. Mobile Sauna was built to create real community connection through sauna. The goal is to create a space that opens conversation, fosters presence, and brings people together. Founded in 2025 and built by hand in Kalamazoo, MI, the sauna is named after my daughter who inspires me to be present, stay healthy, and build something meaningful.

The Juniper and Co. Sauna houses a sturdy Harvia Legend 150 Wood-burning stove with around 300 lbs of stones. It is built on the frame of a 7x14 enclosed trailer. The interior is clad in Cedar T&G and Cedar trim with a large picture window, allowing a great view and plenty of natural light. The hot room has an L-shaped high bench and low bench with LED downlighting, fitting 10-12 people at a time. The trailer is outfitted with a changing room and transition space with space to stow towels and bags. The exterior of the sauna is meant to give the feeling of a traditional wood-built sauna structure and is fully clad in pine board.

MSF participating Sauna highlight:
West Michigan’s hottest way to chill.

SAUNATY is a lakeside wood-fired sauna experience based in Spring Lake, founded by Mike & Jen Jensen and launched in November 2024. SAUNATY brings people together around heat, cold water, and fresh air with community sauna sessions along Lake Michigan and winter events on Mona Lake where guests can cold plunge through a carved ice hole.

The name SAUNATY blends sauna and sanity, inspired by the calm, clarity, and energy people feel after stepping from intense heat into freezing water. It’s a feeling that’s hard to explain but instantly recognizable once you experience it.

As of spring 2026, the SAUNATY fleet includes two NorthUp Curve XL mobile saunas with full picture windows for soaking in epic lake views. SAUNATY also collaborates with parks and other local sauna businesses to grow the West Michigan sauna community and host larger lakeside sauna gatherings.

MSF participating sauna highlight:
is a Michigan-based, family owned company with a passion for traditions, stillness, and the power of heat to restore what the world wears down. Purely Nomadic Sauna Co. was born from a love of nature, health, and the ancient practice of sauna as a path to renewal and purification.

Our mobile wood-fired sauna is thoughtfully designed to bring the full-body experience of deep heat and slow moments to the places you already love—your backyard, a lakeshore, a forest clearing, or a quiet space with friends.

We’re not just in the business of sauna—we’re in the business of pause.
Of breath.
Of re-connection.

Whether you’re seeking recovery, reflection, or simply a break from the noise, we’re here to meet you where you are—literally—and offer something rare: a place to sweat, let go, and be purified.
We create space for the refining fire—where stress melts away, clarity returns, and peace finds its way back in.
