Michigan Week is an annual tribute to the best of the Great Lakes State, that was started in 1954 as a way to promote state pride among citizens and to celebrate the rich heritage and unique features that make Michigan special. The celebration was started by the late Don C. Weeks, then director of the Michigan Department of Economic Development, along with a number of citizens who formed the nonprofit Greater Michigan Foundation.
