SUMMARY:PWPL Presents: Pokémon Trading and Gaming
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays\, March (5\, 26)\, 2026.  \n4:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.  \nPeter White Public Library Youth Services Makerspace.  \nYouth of all ages who are interested in Pokémon card trading and gaming are invited to our new monthly Pokémon Trading & Gaming Sessions. Kids who attend will be able to trade & play the card game with other kids. Please note that staff do not know how to play the game\, so it is not guaranteed that gaming will always happen. If your child has a friend they like to game with\, come together! Kids will also be able to spend time with other Pokémon fans\, chatting about Pokémon and looking through their cards. Important – Trading & gaming will be kid led. It is highly recommended that parents do not allow their children to bring cards that they do not want them to accidentally trade! See our events calendar for full event details regarding trading. Children under the age of 8 will need an adult to stay in the kids room during the event. No admission charge.

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.

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.
