Tapiola 4th of July Celebration
July 4
Tapiola
Date: July 4th, 2025
Tapiola is a is a small community south of Houghton that was founded by Finnish Americans. Although the community only spans an area of about 8 miles, the parade on July 4th at 10:30AM draws in quite a crowd! The first 4th of July parade in Tapiola was organized by local resident, Robert Olson, in 2016. Since then, the parade has continued to grow, with a unique focus on the people and culture of the community. The parade ends at the community baseball field, where there are kid’s games and free hot dogs for all to enjoy. Put in for the Quilt Raffle for a chance to take home a true U.P. one-of-a-kind family heirloom!
