• Cadillac wraps up tennis season; more prep sports (cadillacnews.com) — Cadillac's boys tennis team closed its season at the Division 3 regional in Ada, earning six points and praise from coach Matt Schaefer for steady improvement despite no seeded flights.

• Tommy's Car Wash Tunnel of Terror in Michigan 2026 (wearemidmichigan.com) — Cadillac is one of 15 Michigan cities hosting Tommy's Car Wash "Tunnel of Terror" haunted car wash experience this Halloween season, starting October 9 and running through Halloween night.
