30 minutes from Sault Ste. Marie…

If you’re looking for an easy day trip, Point Iroquois Lighthouse is well worth the drive.

Take in the views from the top of the lighthouse, walk the sandy Lake Superior shoreline, and keep an eye out for colorful agates—or come back after dark and search for Yooperlites.

The drive is part of the experience, winding through the shoreline of Michigan’s beautiful eastern Upper Peninsula.

After a day on Lake Superior, come back to Holiday Inn Express Sault Ste. Marie to relax, recharge, and start planning tomorrow’s adventure.

🇺🇸 The Soo is going all out for the Fourth of July!

As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, Sault Ste. Marie is marking the occasion with an enhanced fireworks display over the St. Marys River, made possible through the support of our local community.

Start your evening with the annual Fourth of July Parade through downtown at 7:00 PM, then find your favorite spot along the waterfront as the sky lights up with a spectacular fireworks show at dusk.

If you're spending the holiday weekend in the Soo, this is one celebration you won't want to miss!

Make Holiday Inn Express Sault Ste. Marie your home base for the holiday weekend. After an evening of celebrating, fireworks, and waterfront fun, you'll be just minutes away from a comfortable night's rest before your next adventure.

Did you know Engineers Day in Sault Ste. Marie started back in 1975? What began as a way to honor the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has grown into one of the Soo’s most loved traditions.

The Soo Locks are one of the greatest engineering achievements on the Great Lakes, keeping ships, goods, and commerce moving through our region every day. Engineers Day celebrates the people behind it all…the engineers, builders, operators, and crews who keep this incredible system running.

If you’re visiting for the event, make Holiday Inn Express Sault Ste. Marie your home base for a weekend full of history, freighters, and hometown tradition. ⚙️🚢💙
