July 20th is Lake Superior Day

Lake Superior carries many superlatives: of the five Great Lakes, it’s the biggest, the coldest and the deepest. It’s also the only Great Lake with its very own day.

Held this year on July 20 – it's always the third Sunday in July – Lake Superior Day was started in the early 1990s by a group of Thunder Bay residents who sought to celebrate the body of water that dominates and defines our region. Other organizations and communities followed with festivities of their own, some of which span the entire weekend, and created Lake Superior Day(s) – which might be appropriate for such a large Lake.
