5. LIONS AND TIGERS, OH MI!

Our Detroit Tigers display, a longtime fan favorite, changes from year to year. One thing that never changes, however, is the inclusion of our pet tiger! This year he’s made a friend in our neighboring Detroit Lions display.

They’ve been hanging around long enough that it’s probably time we name them! Tell us what you think we should name them in the comments below, and look for our poll on Facebook to select the winners!

Frankenmuth celebrated the Bavarian Festival’s 60th anniversary this year!
