Macomb County Mid-Winter Break Activities

Mid-Winter Break happens around Presidents Day, which always takes place on the third Monday in February.

Some schools in Macomb County have the whole week off, Feb. 17-21, while others only have a couple days off, Feb. 17-18. Either way, it’s a great opportunity for you to get out of the house and do something fun (and maybe educational) with your kids.
