What began as a way to encourage the down-trodden High School football team, has become a city-wide craze over the past 50 years! To celebrate this incredible milestone, businesses and organizations throughout Cadillac will be hosting KISS-themed events and specialty products during the Anniversary Celebration between October 9th and October 12, 2025.

The WCHS Museum has expanded the KISS Exhibit for the 2025 Season, which sprawls through the Rotunda, Research Room and Children’s Reading Room. Displays include items from the collection of Rich Edwards and never-before-seen photos from Dave Foley’s personal collection. These expanded exhibits will be open for viewing following Museum hours, from June to October 11th, 2025.
