Gear up for a weekend of winter-packed action and fun in Marquette County, Michigan! February 6-8, celebrate Heikki Lunta Winter Festival and Meijer Winter Games with activities and events throughout the West End and east Marquette. Choose your winter adventure from luging like an Olympian, casting a line at the ice fishing tournament, snowshoeing past lantern-lit mine ruins, gliding through the woods with a thermos in hand, or warming up by bonfires in the Social District.
Please social district and recreate responsibly!
