Summer’s sunny days are fading, but before the season says goodbye to the Upper Peninsula, Hancock invites the community to celebrate the memories and fun made over the past months.
The annual End of Summer celebration, organized by the City of Hancock, offers the Copper Country a final chance to enjoy the region’s remaining sunny days. The event begins Sept. 5 at 2 p.m. and features activities throughout the day, culminating in a spectacular laser light show on the Quincy Green.
The celebration includes pickleball, cribbage and cornhole tournaments, kids games, a beer garden hosted by the fire department, live music and dancing, and prizes for participants of all ages.
“End of Summer celebrates the fun activities and memories made over the summer,” according to city officials.
Individuals and teams interested in participating in tournaments should contact Mary Kaminski for more details. Businesses and organizations looking to support the event should reach out to Community Development Manager Todd Gast.
The laser light show provides a spectacular finale to the day’s festivities, transforming the heart of downtown Hancock into an evening celebration as summer transitions to fall.
