Enjoy stargazing? If so, Michigan's state parks are the place to be to catch this month's Perseid meteor shower.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources will host a number of events from this Saturday to Aug. 16, according to The Associated Press. On top of the Perseid show, the so-called "Meteors & S'mores" events will include astrology presentations, AP reports.

Attendance is free, as long as you have a Recreation Passport. AP says a list of events and locations can be found at michigan.gov/gogetoutdoors.
