(FOX 2) - One of Michigan's best traditions — and certainly a party with one of the stranger names — is set to kick off today when thousands of boaters make the trek out onto Lake St. Clair.
Known for its tomfoolery and partying, Michigan's "Mardi Gras on Water" has been going on for years.
Workers take the day off from work and enjoy their afternoon on Gull Island twice a year: one in June and another in September.
The fun takes place near Harsens Island.
