Good afternoon,
As we look ahead towards summer and events, it has been brought to our attention that the Upper Peninsula Children's Museum, along with the Marquette Arts and Culture Center, is interested in hosting a kid's Art Week event on the 100 block of Baraga Avenue on
Wednesday, June 24 from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m.
This event will include the Paint Baraga Avenue Chalk Painting Contest, in lieu of any related event in October, along with an assortment of art and music related kids activities, poetry, pop up performances, demonstrations, and more. The event would involve barricading the block for the day for this event, and would likely restrict vehicular access to the area for the entire day.
The Marquette DDA is interested in your feedback on this proposed event, as it will overlap with general weekday operating hours for most businesses on this block of Baraga Avenue. Please provide myself or
Rebecca Salmon, Marquette DDA Executive Director
, feedback by end of business day on Wednesday, February 12, so that we may discuss this at the monthly Marquette DDA board meeting on Thursday, February 13.
We appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to provide us with feedback.
Thank you,
Tara Laase-McKinney
