It took a while, but summer arrived just in time for the annual Bridgefest weekend in Houghton and Hancock.
With the parade keeping to one side of the bridge this year, crowds packed Shelden Avenue in Houghton to watch it go by.
Some decided to get a different view of the bridge by taking a ride on a helicopter.
Lead Flight Instructor Adam Chunn for Lake Superior Helicopters says the view from above the Portage Canal is like no other.
The ride costs roughly ten dollars per minute, well worth it to Houghton Resident Erin Raymond, who took a ride to celebrate her 23rd birthday.
For those who prefer to keep their feet on the ground, Bridgefest featured a car show on Saturday, and there were vendors and games along the waterfront for everyone to enjoy.
And at the park, Seafoodfest continued to cook up their famous meals, raising money for the Houghton Rotary.
