Noquemanon Ski Marathon
The MGH Noquemanon Ski Marathon and mBank Half Noque, both in their eleventh year, continue to attract cross country skiers from around the nation and around the world. Thousands of skiers have taken the 51K or 25K trek from Ishpeming, the birthplace of organized skiing and home to the U.S. National Ski Hall of Fame to Marquette’s Superior Dome, the world’s largest wooden domed stadium along the shores of Lake Superior.

Superior Bike Fest
Cyclists have enjoyed the road course stage of Superior Bike Fest in the past which rides out along the shore of Lake Superior and winds through scenic Marquette County, offering riders serious climbs in addition to beautiful views as they make their way back to the big Lake. USA Cat 1/2 riders will compete on a 100 mile course while USA Cat 3, 4, 5 and citizen riders will take the 55 and 35 mile routes. MBRA officials were impressed with Bike Fest’s organizational effort, the quality of the Bike Fest sponsors and volunteer support, the backing of the City, and the race course.

Hiawatha Music Festival
The Hiawatha Festival is the only event of its size and scope in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Without Hiawatha, local performers and fans would have to travel between four and six hours to the nearest festivals of its size and type.
The Festival is held the next-to-last FULL weekend in July, at the Marquette, Mich., Tourist Park.
Each year's event features traditional-music styles that include bluegrass, old-time, Cajun, Celtic, acoustic blues and folk - including singer/songwriters - and dance. Mainstage acts include nationally known performers as well as regional and local favorites.
