Friday Night Retro Video Dance Party
- Friday, May 9

And now, we’re bringing that energy back for one unforgettable night.” Expect to see and hear “throwback bangers, video nostalgia, and cat magic.”

More Shipwrecks of the Great Lakes
- Wednesday, May 14
- North Point Lighthouse Museum
- 2650 N. Wahl Ave (inside Lake Park)
“There have been at least six thousand shipwrecks on the Great Lakes and an estimated thirty thousand lives lost,” according to the info for this presentation by Anna Lardinois, a local author whose books include Shipwrecks of the Great Lakes: Tragedies and Legacies from the Inland Seas. There’s perhaps no more fitting venue for this presentation than Lake Park’s historic North Point Lighthouse, which has a monthly lecture from a variety of local historians. No word if Deep Thought, the graffiti covered wreck recently pulled from the lakefront, will be part of the discussion.
