The motoring public is advised to use caution when traveling near this area and be aware of all
pedestrians crossing the streets.
The Masonic arts theatre and innovation company is hosting its annual gala at the Marquette Masonic Center on New Year’s Eve. Dinner is at 6:00, dancing and drinks start at nine, with a champagne toast at midnight just in time for the annual ball drop out front on Washington Street.
The Marquette City Police Department will be adding extra patrols in the downtown area. You’re not allowed to consume alcohol or smoke marijuana on city streets, sidewalks, or parking lots.
