Where Are the Skeletons?
Skeletons are popping up all over downtown Kalamazoo!
With the beautiful October weather, what better reason than to take a walking tour to see them up close and personal?
A little spooky, and a whole lot of silly, these skeletons are posed in hilarious ways that beg for “skelfies.”
Even better? Each skeleton reflects a local business or organization unique to Kalamazoo.
So, where can you find the skeletons?
Stroll along Michigan Avenue, the Kalamazoo Mall, Rose Street, and South Street, and you’ll see skeletons on display.
