In addition to all the wonderful things to do at and near Grand Superior Lodge, there are some fantastic festivals and events. If you've never been to a small town festival, you're missing out on homemade floats, neighbors celebrating their volunteers of the year, incredible music and art, food vendors on the street and the chance to jump right in and participate, or hang back and enjoy.

Some events celebrate the season, like the Winter Frolic and Solstice Celebrations; some celebrate the people and history, like the John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon and Heritage Days; some celebrate the natural beauty of the area, like State Parks Open House and the Kayak Festival, while others celebrate the arts inspired by this place, like the Folk Festival and Crossing Borders.
