The broader Marquette County lineup also includes Marquette parades, concerts, boat and laser shows, and a multi-day Freedom Festival along the Lake Superior waterfront. 
• Presque Isle Bandshell: A look back (miningjournal.net) — A new bandshell is debuting at Presque Isle in Marquette, and its history includes a special Negaunee connection: the Negaunee City Band played the very first concert there back in 1935. The story traces how the bandshell was built during the Depression, the pay dispute that sparked a union clash, and how the venue still became a longtime community gathering spot.
