Michigan Makes The List Of America’s 10 Biggest Party States

Michigan is known for the Great Lakes, Detroit-style pizza, Motown, and, most recently, its love for partying. That's right - Michigan has made the list of America's Biggest Party States.

When I saw that Michigan made the list, I was not surprised. From backyard barbecues and tailgating to 'just because' parties and pregaming for a concert, we Michiganders love to have a good time.

Where did Michigan rank on the list of America's 10 Biggest Party States?

Drumroll, please - Michigan snagged the #10 spot on the list.

1. New Jersey
2. Texas
3. Maryland
4. Florida
5. Utah
6. Oregon
7. Alaska
8. Georgia
9. California
10. Michigan

Is anyone else surprised that Florida is not #1? How was this list determined?

According to The Maids, the information was collected by questioning more than 2,000 people across all 50 states. The list looks at how often people attend and host parties, how long they typically stay, how much they spend, and more.

The website also revealed that holiday parties are the most popular party type nationwide.

Are you more of a party host or a party guest? Throwing a party can be stressful and, obviously, more expensive than just being a guest. Bringing a dish or a bottle to pass is much easier than hosting the party yourself.

I don't think I had one single party at my house this summer. But from the sounds of it, Michigan is down to clown year-round. I guess I will start planning a party for fall.

Are field parties still a thing?
