Events
There are great events and festivals happening year round in the Western Upper Peninsula.
13 years and it keeps getting better!!! Make plans to attend the Norrie Club’s 13th Annual “Light Up The Night” Christmas Tree Burning Party and Snowshoe Hike on Saturday January 29. It’s a fun community event for everyone of all ages!
A short snowshoe hike for all skill levels will take place prior to the fire at approximately 6pm with the fire to begin at 7pm. DJ Jackal will be playing all of your favorite hits and tunes.
A campfire will be started early before 7pm so kids can roast marshmallows provided by the members of the Norrie Club. Free Hot Chocolate inside the Clubhouse and a beverage trailer will be located onsite at the fire.
The fire happens at the north end of the parking lot, located in the Norrie neighborhood of Ironwood adjacent to Randa Softball Field, not far from Hiawatha “The World’s Biggest Indian.”

The Copper Peak Snowmobile Hilclimb is BACK! It will be a 2 day event on President’s Weekend, Saturday, Feb 19th will be Qualifying, Sunday Feb 20th will be the Finals. This will replace the Snow Drag that was on the Poster/Calendar of this years MASTERS Racing Circuit Posters.
We will be looking for Sponsors to increase the Cash Purse for the Pro Stock King of the HIll and the Pro Mod King of the Hill.
Share, Copy, and/or get the word out so racers and fans can get Motel Rooms. When the MASTERS started and brought Copper Peak back to life years ago, people were staying a long way from Ironwood/Bessemer due to the popularity of this VERY CHALLENGING Hillclimb. So get your Motel Rooms reserved ASAP and plan on either competing or watching the BIGGEST and MOST CHALLENGING Snowmobile Hillclimb East of the Mississippi!
