The Frankemuth (MI) Antique Fire Muster takes place on the last Saturday in July. It begins with a fire truck parade and ends at Frankenmuth’s Heritage part where antique fire apparatus from around the United States and Canada are displayed. Participants can buy/sell/trade fire memorabilia from a variety of vendors. Also in the park, participants can see old fire trucks, including old steamers, drafting out of the Cass River and flowing water.

Shown are a number of early 20th century motorized rigs from this year’s event, which took place on July 27, 2024.
