Clare, MI

Ireland

Clare sits where US-127 and US-10 meet in central Michigan, about 90 miles north of Grand Rapids. The city serves as a convenient stopping point for travelers heading to northern Michigan destinations. US-127 runs north-south through town, connecting to Lansing and continuing toward Grayling, while US-10 provides east-west access to Midland and Reed City. Clare hosts an annual Irish Festival each March that fills the downtown with traditional music and celebrations.
