For the Heartlands Fundraiser Dinner and Concert
2026-06-05 00:00 - 23:59 | Hidden Pines Barn, Calumet, Michigan, 49913
Kickstart the Summer with “For the Heartlands” Fundraiser Dinner and Concert on June 5, 2026
Support the launch of the Keweenaw Heartlands Community Forest
HANCOCK, MI, April 21, 2026— The Keweenaw Heartlands Community Advisory Committee and Keweenaw Community Foundation are partnering to host “For the Heartlands,” a fundraiser dinner and concert on Friday, June 5, 2026, at the Hidden Pines Barn in Calumet.
The event supports the Keweenaw Heartlands Forest Fund, held by the Keweenaw Community Foundation, to establish the Keweenaw Heartlands Community Forest. The fund covers costs related to the early governance and management of this future publicly owned, locally governed forest—one of the first of its kind in Michigan.
Since late 2022, the Keweenaw Heartlands Community Advisory Committee has worked to advance the project in partnership with The Nature Conservancy and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The committee has spent over 1,900 volunteer hours working to ensure sustained public access to the roughly 20,000 acres in Keweenaw County that make up the Heartlands.
“We joined the advisory committee because of our club’s mission to support outdoor recreation in the Keweenaw. One of our main trails is on the Heartlands property,” said Daryl St. John, Keweenaw ATV Club President. “For us, it’s about continued access to off-road trails, hunting, fishing, camping—and everything else we love about living in this area.”
With more than $324,000 already secured, this event celebrates the final phase of fundraising needed to reach the campaign target of $600,000. Achieving this goal will enable the early planning and start-up of the Keweenaw Heartlands Community Forest once a local, publicly elected Authority Board is established.
Event tickets are available now and expected to sell fast! Tickets are $125 each and include a sit-down dinner, one drink token (cash bar also available), and live music from The Go Rounds. The event will also feature a silent auction showcasing uniquely Keweenaw experiences. Purchase your tickets online: http://bit.ly/4heartlands-tickets
More than just a night out, this event offers attendees a chance to connect with others involved in this project to learn more about what’s ahead for this community forest.
Become a Sponsor
Community members and local businesses are also invited to support the Keweenaw Heartlands Forest Fund through sponsorships that advance the campaign’s fundraising goal. Learn more about how you can sponsor: http://bit.ly/4heartlands-sponsor.
“As I raise a family in the Keweenaw, it’s very important to me that my children grow up in a place where they’re free to explore the wilderness,” said Ethan Deshetsky, of Hidden Pines Barn in Calumet and a Community Forest Hero sponsor for the event. “I support the Keweenaw Heartlands Project efforts to keep wild places open for future generations.”

FOURTH ANNUAL LGBTQIA+ CELEBRATION: KEWEENAW PRIDEFEST
2026-06-06 13:00 - 17:00 | Calumet Colosseum, 110 Red Jacket Road, Calumet, Michigan, 49913
Local LGBTQIA+ pride event, Keweenaw Pridefest, is returning for a fourth year on Saturday, June 6 at the Calumet Colosseum. The free, all-ages event will be held from 1 to 5 p.m. and is open to the public, rain or shine.

The theme of Keweenaw Pridefest 2026 is Rainbow Connections. The theme represents the connections LGBTQIA+ people have to their communities and to queer history.

“Community is the connections we have with each other,” said Keweenaw Pridefest organizer Emily Stanton. “When all generations of queer people can stand together, it’s powerful. Now more than ever, we need a strong queer community in the Keweenaw.”

Keweenaw Pridefest will have live music, tabling from local organizations, a photo booth, food trucks, a clothing swap, and free face painting and balloon art. New to the 2026 event are a stamp rally, a chill zone with bracelet making and origami, and community art project inspired by the AIDS Memorial Quilt. A free transportation shuttle, with stops in Houghton, Hancock, and Calumet, is available from 12 to 5 p.m.

Event Details:

Date: Saturday, June 6, 2026
Time: 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Location: Calumet Colosseum, 110 Red Jacket Rd, Calumet, MI 49913

Agenda Highlights:

Live Music: There will be performances from Michigan artists such as Addicus, Bimbo, Arika Rose, and Bees! Bees! Bees! Bees! Bees! Bees!
Food Trucks: Food will be available for purchase from Bosio Biscuit Co., Copper Island Bagel Company, Superior Cupcakes, and Doozers. There will be a limited amount of bottled water and fruit free of charge.
Activities: There will be live music, a clothing swap, free face painting, free balloon art, community organization tabling, a photo booth, a stamp rally, a chill zone, and community art project inspired by the AIDS Memorial Quilt.
Organizations Present: Local organizations, such as Free Mom Hugs, Tree House Family Resources, Copper Country Humane Society, and Copper Shores Outreach & Education, will be sharing information with attendees at community tables.

Why Attend?
This is a fun, inclusive, and free event that anyone is welcome to attend. Pride events are a celebration of overcoming adversity from an LGBTQIA+ perspective. It’s also a time to join and connect with one another, make lasting connections between all generations. Whether you are looking to talk with community organizations, listen to live music, get some new clothes, or eat delicious food from local food trucks, this event is for you.

“Pridefest is an opportunity to bring the Keweenaw community together to celebrate LGBTQIA+ residents while welcoming anyone looking to start the summer with great music and friendly faces from across the Upper Peninsula,” said Stanton.

Volunteers Needed
If you would like to help volunteer for Keweenaw Pridefest 2026, you can sign up at givepul.se/deqyve or contact keweenawqueers@gmail.com.

There will be a volunteer orientation on Tuesday, June 2 from 6 to 7 p.m. in the Portage Lake District Library (58 Huron Street, Houghton, MI 49931) community room.

Noteworthy Spring Concert "Fab, Fun, and Female: A Soiree of Song"
2026-06-11 19:00 | Houghton High School, 1603 Gundlach Road, Houghton, Michigan, 49931
Noteworthy will hold its upcoming spring concert, “Fab, Fun, and Female: A Soirée of Song,” at 7 p.m., Thursday, June 11, at the Houghton High School Auditorium

“Noteworthy is a fun, fabulous group of women, and for this concert we thought, ‘Why not do songs that are just like us?” said director Joan Harbour. “As well as familiar tunes, we have a few playful numbers that I know our audience will really like.”

The concert also features Wende Jonas Hill, a local folk/rock singer who performs with Dodge Street Band, Trees, and Soundwaves.

Noteworthy is the region’s only women’s barbershop chorus, with a repertoire of familiar, singable melodies performed in four-part harmony.

The program includes “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “One Fine Day” and “Together Wherever We Go.” No concert about being female would be complete without Helen Reddy’s “I Am Woman,” and all ladies in the audience will appreciate the whimsical ditty “A Dress with Pockets.”

Noteworthy does not charge admission for its concerts. A free will offering will be taken to benefit the Upper Peninsula Human Trafficking Task Force.

For more information or to find out about joining Noteworthy, contact Harbour at 906-482-5088 or noteworthychorus@gmail.com .

Fireworks at Bridgefest 2026
2026-06-13 22:30 | Houghton, Houghton
The Keweenaw Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce that IncredibleBank will serve as the official Jon Davis Memorial Fireworks Sponsor for Bridgefest 2026, taking place June 11–14, 2026.

As the Fireworks Sponsor, IncredibleBank is proud to support one of Bridgefest’s most anticipated traditions. “We’re thrilled to be part of Bridgefest 2026,” said Kyle Kumpula, Market Manager of IncredibleBank. “Supporting the fireworks is a wonderful way to bring people together and celebrate our community. We’re looking forward to sharing an unforgettable night with residents and visitors alike.”

The fireworks display will take place on Saturday, June 13, with spectators invited to watch the sky over the Portage Canal light up at 10:35 p.m. This year promises an elevated experience as fireworks will be launched from a barge stationed in the heart of the canal creating the thrilling sensation of bursts igniting from the water itself. This unique mid-canal vantage point allows for a wider, more immersive display, with reflections dancing across the water and vibrant colors surrounding viewers from multiple shoreline perspectives. A special thank you to our barge sponsor, MJO Contracting, for helping make this vision a reality. Please note: Heads up, boaters! A no wake zone, and 500’ radius from the barge will be in place two hours before the Bridgefest fireworks launch to ensure the safety of both the display and all watercrafts.

The spectacular 16-minute show will be synchronized to music, which can be enjoyed by tuning in to 97.7 FM, adding another layer of excitement to the sights and sounds of the evening.

“We’re grateful to partner with IncredibleBank for this signature Bridgefest event,” said Katie Schlief of the Keweenaw Chamber of Commerce. “After years of envisioning fireworks launched from the water, it’s incredibly exciting to finally bring this vision to life. This new perspective from the canal will deliver a one-of-a-kind experience and create unforgettable memories for our community.”
