As Muskegon County Prosecutor, DJ Hilson spends his days presenting the facts. But in Muskegon Lumber Queen 52, he'll be stepping into the role of Mayor of Muskegon, where the only case before the court is whether you should come see the show. The verdict is expected to be unanimous! Join us in 2027 and witness Mayor Hilson hold court over a celebration of Muskegon's history, humor, and heart.
