Lake Superior Day 2025 to be celebrated July 20

MARQUETTE, Mich. (WZMQ) – Many can agree, you can’t truly live in Michigan without acknowledging its Great Lakes. Lake Superior in particular, being the largest, and one of fiercest of them all.

Lake Superior Day is recognized every third Sunday of July, with multiple shoreline regions taking part in various festivities. Marquette Maritime Museum Director Hilary Billman says it’s an important learning experience.

“We started out as a shipping port, so everything that we do in Marquette is around Lake Superior,” said Billman. “We also have to figure out ways to take care of Lake Superior for future generations. Lake Superior Day is a day that all around the lake, different organizations can celebrate and teach people how to take care of it.”

The celebrations began in the early 1990’s in Thunder Bay, with Marquette following the tradition for close to 10 years now. Billman says it gains more popularity each time around.

“It’s definitely growing every year, I usually put a call out for booths and then I get new people every year because they’ve heard about it,” she said. “We’ll have conservation, kids activities, environmental organizations, all kinds of different people who can teach you about how to celebrate our Great Lakes. Bring your family or just bring yourself, and you will definitely learn something.”

Booths on Sunday will include Partridge Creek Farms Compost, Great Lakes Fisheries Commission, the U.P. Children’s Museum, and more. The event will take place from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Maritime Museum’s lakeside parking lot.

More information can be found on the Marquette Maritime Museum and Lighthouse Facebook.
