SUMMARY:The Marquette Regional History Center presents the Special Exhibit: The U.P. Through 250 Artifacts
DESCRIPTION:February 23\, 2026-January 2\, 2027 \nThis exhibit showcases two hundred and fifty artifacts\, photographs\, and documents from our permanent collections. These objects connect local history to the national story while commemorating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. \nMichigan’s Upper Peninsula has often seemed remote from the rest of the country. However\, the themes and movements of U.S. history can be seen here as well\, especially since the War of 1812. When the country braced for the Civil War\, U.P. iron miners raced to uncover iron for the Union army’s railroads and ammunitions. When labor movements exploded following World War II\, Ishpeming’s Gossard garment factory went on strike for better wages. Objects rarely on display include the medal awarded to a local Spanish American War nurse and a hand sewn battle flag brought home by a soldier from the War of 1812.  Visit marquettehistory.org or call 906.226.3571 for more info.

SUMMARY:Traveling Exhibition "The Holocaust:  History\, Memory & Michigan Voices"
DESCRIPTION:“The Holocaust: History\, Memory & Michigan Voices\,” a new traveling exhibition created by the Zekelman Holocaust Center in Farmington Hills\, is on display at Northern Michigan University’s Olson Library through April 30. An opening reception is scheduled at 4 p.m. Monday\, March 9\, in the Library Atrium. A smaller exhibit on art as resistance is also featured. \n  \n“In many ways\, the traveling exhibition is a condensed\, portable version of the Zekelman Center\,” said Ryan Bond\, an NMU staff member who teaches a history of the Holocaust class and is a member of the center. “The content there used to be oriented more toward the Nazi perpetrators\, but now the focus has shifted to victims’ and survivors’ personal stories—specifically\, Michigan survivors. I just learned that the Holocaust survivors who came to this state at some point after the war numbered at least 4\,000. That surprised me; I had no idea it was that many.” \n  \nWhen he taught the course in fall 2024\, Bond wanted to do something beyond his classroom that would benefit the broader NMU and Marquette-area communities. He invited a guest to campus whose mother was a Holocaust survivor. She stayed for three days\, visited six other classrooms\, presented a workshop for educators and participated in two full-film screenings of a documentary about her mother. \n  \nThis past October\, three Zekelman Center staff members came to NMU to give class presentations. That visit inspired Bond to propose bringing a traveling exhibit to campus. \n  \n“The Holocaust is an important topic that shouldn’t just be confined to my classroom\,” he said. “The center is very outreach- and teacher-oriented\, and because we can’t readily bring students there\, it made sense to collaborate and find a way to bring the center to us.” \n  \nBond secured support for the idea from Olson Library Director Emera Bridger Wilson and Dean of Library and Instructional Support Leslie Warren. \n“Olson Library is excited to host this exhibit\, the first of what we hope are many now that we are in our renovated spaces\,” Bridger Wilson said. “This exhibit also complements our Holocaust and Genocide Studies collection. We hope that people are made more aware of the collection through programming such as this.” \n“It was exciting to unpack three huge shipping crates and collaborate with colleagues from the library and history students who volunteered to set up the main exhibit and the art installation\,” said History Professor Kathryn Johnson\, who was part of the team that made it happen. \n  \nSenior history major Alexis Hall is helping to coordinate the exhibit and related events via an internship. Bond says he is in conversations with the Zekelman Center about possible summer internship opportunities in Farmington Hills for NMU students. \n  \nTo coincide with the display\, three Zekelman Center educators will be on campus March 25-26 for classroom presentations for history and other disciplines. They will also deliver a free full-day workshop for area teachers on using content from the exhibit and the center in their classes. Teachers can earn SCECHs or NMU graduate credit for attending. \n  \nPreservice secondary social studies teachers are also invited to the workshop. Johnson said it will be an important learning experience for them to collaborate with current teachers in a meaningful content-specific professional development workshop. \n  \nRick Schaffner from the center will present “Reclaiming Power Through Resilience and Resistance” as part of NMU’s UNITED Conference from 1:15-2:30 p.m. Wednesday\, March 25\, in the Northern Center Ballrooms. \n  \nFounded in 1984\, the Zekelman Center is the only Holocaust museum in Michigan. Its newly renovated museum is complemented by a research and library archive\, special exhibit galleries\, educational workshops and public programming. Learn more at holocaustcenter.org.

SUMMARY:Me Siirtolaiset | We Immigrants on display March 12-April 16
DESCRIPTION: America Beckons by Aura Jylhä-Vuorio\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFinlandia Art Gallery\n presents\n\n ME SIIRTOLAISET | WE IMMIGRANTS\n\n Selections from our art + archival collections\n\nMarch 12 – April 16\, 2026\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, March 12\, 7-8:30pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n HANCOCK\, Mich. – Art\, artifacts\, and oral histories come together to tell stories of Finnish migration to the United States in the new exhibit “Me Siirtolaiset | We Immigrants\,” which opens March 12 at Finlandia Art Gallery. \nThe artwork in the exhibit is from the gallery’s permanent collection and includes the work of nine Finnish-American and Finnish artists – Ariadna Donner\, Gerald Immonen\, Aura Jylha-Vuorio\, Gladys Koski Holmes\, Desiree Koslin\, Jan Manniko\, Mabel Mustonen\, Onni Nordman and Tatu Vuorio. Joanna Chopp\, Finnish American Heritage Center archivist\, and Phyllis Fredendall\, a former director of the Finlandia Art Gallery\, will speak at the opening reception and contextualize the exhibit. \n“It’s wonderful to tie the archival collection and the art collection together in an exhibition that reflects the ways that art and objects tell a story of our time and the time they were made\,” Fredendall said.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Detail of Infrared View Ryiji #2 by Desiree Koslin\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Highlighted alongside the art and archival artifacts of immigration are excerpts of oral history interviews from the FAHC Oral History Collection. These histories\, digitized and available to researchers through the Finnish American Historical Archive website\, allow visitors to immerse themselves in the firsthand experiences of immigrants and their descendants. Interim Gallery Director Clare Zuraw sees these stories as an important part of this exhibit.\n“Oral histories offer us perspective on the experiences of the past while also helping us to understand the present. Art tells a visual story\, while recordings and transcripts of stories preserve the words and experiences of our ancestors\,” she said.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n An opening reception will take place at Finlandia Art Gallery in Hancock on Thursday\, March 12 from 7-8:30 p.m. with remarks by Phyllis Fredendall and Joanna Chopp beginning at 7:20 p.m. “Me Siirtolaiset | We Immigrants” will be on display through April 16 at the Finnish American Heritage Center\, located at 435 Quincy St. in Hancock.

SUMMARY:Festival Of The Angry Bear Returns
DESCRIPTION:MARQUETTE – The “big bear” of Upper Peninsula festivals returns for its twelfth year after taking a brief hiatus in 2025 due to the opening of The Trestle Building. Ore Dock Brewing Company’s Festival of the Angry Bear is a spirited and much anticipated street festival that has become an annual spring tradition in downtown Marquette. Since its founding in 2014\, the festival has evolved into a weekend long celebration as thousands of enthusiastic (and often fur-clad) celebrators gather to “wake the bear” and shed their winter fur in downtown Marquette. \n“After taking 2025 off so we could focus on our expansion and the opening of The Trestle\, we are beyond excited to bring the bear out of hibernation\,” says Curated Events Manager\, Amanda Courchaine. “We could not do this without the support of our staff\, neighbors\, volunteers and all the folks who travel down the street or miles and miles to be a part of this.” \nThe 100-block of Spring St. will close Friday\, April 10\, and begin its transformation\, emerging a mere 24-hours later with a city block’s worth of live music\, food trucks\, games\, costumes\, and a plethora of kegs. The festival plays host to the annual unveiling of Ore Dock’s barrel-aged and limited release offerings with over 30 taps of Lake Superior sourced craft beer\, cocktail-inspired hard seltzers\, a variety of non-alcoholic craft beverages and new this year draft cocktails. Thirsty bears gotta eat too\, and festival goers will have no trouble finding tasty eats from a bounty of local food vendors. \nNew for 2026\, 3 music stages will be featured. Headlining the festival stage will be the Pajamas to cap off an eclectic Midwest lineup including The 4onthefloor (Minneapolis\, MN)\, Wrestle with Jimmy (Grand Rapids)\, and The Bootstrap Boys (Grand Rapids). Steve Leaf (Grand Rapids) and Marquette’s favorite surf rock band\, Ramble Tamble\, will be rocking the Community Space stage. The Trestle Biergarten will be vibing throughout the festival featuring Synergy with local DJ’s Mayple & Conway. \nThere will also be a multitude of events and collaborations leading up to the festival including: \nthe inaugural Angry Bear Pre-Pawty (4/3/26) where you can get everything needed to hit the fast-pass line on festival day.  \nSamara Floral Co.’s Flower Crown workshop (4/9/26)\,  \nRise of the Baby Bear with the U.P. Children’s Museum (4/10/26)\,  \nand the third running of Queen City’s Run 4 Your Life 5k (4/11/26) with proceeds to support the Special Olympics of Michigan Area 36. Additional festival events include a costume contest and dance-off hosted by Marquette Fringe\, a beer relay and growler holding competition with Queen City Running Co\, and keg bowling with The Fire Station. \nThe festival is 21+ and festival goers will need to purchase a $10 official Angry Bear wristband to enter. Angry Bear will happen rain\, snow\, or shine.

SUMMARY:PSA - Powerful Tools for Caregivers Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Powerful Tools for Caregivers\, a six-week online workshop\, designed for the non-professional\, informal family caregiver\, will be held on Thursdays\, March 19 through April 23\, from 1:30 – 3:00 pm (Eastern) via Zoom. \nResearch studies find high rates of depression and anxiety among caregivers and increased vulnerability to health problems. Caregivers frequently cite restriction of personal activities and social life as problems. In addition\, caregivers often feel a lack of control over events and a sense of powerlessness which can have a significant negative impact on their physical and emotional health. The Powerful Tools for Caregivers program will provide caregivers tools to help reduce stress and increase relaxation\, make tough decisions\, reduce guilt\, anger and depression\, communicate effectively\, set goals and problem solve\, and take better care of themselves while caring for a relative or friend. Caregivers will benefit from the workshop whether they are helping a parent\, spouse\, or friend living at home\, in long-term care or across the country. The workshop focuses on self-care for the caregiver\, not on specific diseases or hands-on caregiving. \nPowerful Tools for Caregivers is offered by Upper Peninsula Commission for Area Progress (UPCAP) in partnership with Lake Superior Life Care and Hospice. There is no charge for this workshop\, but registration is required. Class size is limited. Registration ends when the class is full or on March 2. \nTo register\, visit www.upcap.org (click on Events) or call 2-1-1 Monday through Friday\, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for assistance.
