Boyne Highlands ~ Homecoming Weekend ~ January 22 ~ 24, 2021

Each year, right around the same time, we get the urge to celebrate the place, the people, and the traditions that make Boyne Highlands special. And this year, we’re doing it again.

Join us for 2021 Homecoming Weekend – and experience the excitement as generations of the extended Boyne Highlands family come together for three days of uninterrupted, unforgettable fun. With familiar faces around every corner, you’ll have plenty of chances to share memories of homecomings past – while creating a whole year’s worth of new ones.

Fun racing events for families and competitors.

  • Start gathering your team for the Sno-Go Hot Cocoa Hustle! This fun relay will require you and your team to get your tray of hot cocoa to the bottom the of Leprechaun as fast as you can. With skiing and running legs of this race, your whole family can join in on Saturday, January 23.
  • All of these events are leading up to the BIG event. The one you’ve been asking for… THE HEAD DOWNHILL. That’s right folks, we are bringing The Downhill back and it’s better than ever. Mark your calendars for this premiere northern Michigan racing event on Sunday, January 24!
