From fish fries and live music to fitness classes and family- friendly fun, there’s something for everyone in Alger County this spring. Stay active with yoga, Tai Chi for Arthritis and a wide range of Deep Blue Fitness classes. Try your luck at Moose bingo, or test your skills at the weekly Euchre League and Casual Cribbage Night.
Families can enjoy playgroups, story times and special events like Read with a Ranger and Science on Tap. Community events continue with free-store hours, food pantry services and the Silent Book Club at Falling Rock. Looking ahead, Earth Fest kicks off in early April with educational programs and nature-themed documentaries, while artist deadlines and local meetings keep the civic spirit strong.
Registration is now open for 4-H baseball and softball, the Munising Farmers & Artisans Market and summer camps. With spring weather always a wildcard, be sure to check with event organizers for last-minute changes. Don’t miss out on all that’s happening in Alger County this season.
