In 2026, Hancock and the Keweenaw Peninsula celebrate their designation as the Finno-Ugric Capital of Culture - the first in North America. All year long, a lively calendar of events invites visitors and locals to explore Finnish American heritage through music, food, folk traditions, workshops, lectures, and seasonal celebrations, with global cultural connections woven in.
From the flagship Juhannus Suurjuhlat to hands-on workshops and community festivals, these events offer joyful opportunities to learn, participate, and discover the traditions that continue to shape Hancock and Michigan’s Copper Country.
