Labor Day events planned for Escanaba, Cedar River

ESCANABA — While masks and social distancing will make this Labor Day look very different than the holiday has looked in past years, that doesn’t mean Yoopers won’t be celebrating. Here are some of the community celebrations that are still planned for this weekend.

Celebrate 906 Day and Labor Day in Escanaba with music Sunday Sept. 6, and Monday Sept. 7.

“We are having three bands throughout the weekend with food vendors,” said City of Escanaba Recreation Director Kim Peterson.

The band Where’s Gary will perform on Escanaba’s Municipal Dock in Ludington Park from 5 to 10 p.m. Sept. 6. Where’s Gary is a four piece rock band from Delta County.

Sept. 7 between noon and 4 p.m., the band We Ain’t Saints will play rock and classic rock music. Between the hours of 4 and 8 p.m. Sit Down Francis will entertain the crowd with their hardcore alternative folk music.

Food vendors will be on site. Attendees can bring their lawn chairs and coolers.

The Cedar River Bridge Walk will be held Saturday Sept. 5. Festivities will begin 10:30 a.m. CST. Beginning ceremonies will be held at the Cedarville Township Hall and Volunteer Fire Department on the north end of the Cedar River Bridge, just off M-35 across from the Cedar River State Harbor.
