Lake Superior Day

Our annual Lake Superior Day celebration is on July 20, 2025 from 1:00pm-4:00pm on the Museum grounds on the shore of Lake Superior. This event is an opportunity for kids and families to learn about the history, conservation, ecology, and regional importance of Lake Superior. We will have a variety of outdoor booths by local environmental organizations, tables, and family-friendly activities alongside activities specifically geared towards kids.

Lake Superior Day, which began in Thunder Bay in the early 1990s, was started to celebrate the body of water that dominates and defines our region. Slowly, over the years, other communities followed with festivities of their own. Our goal at the Marquette Maritime Museum is to celebrate our great lake while learning how to preserve and maintain it for the enjoyment of future generations.

This is a FREE event. Call 906-226-2006 if you are interested in a booth.
