Ann Marie's kicks off their summer season Friday and Saturday with free samples, and Tomahawk's Farm & Flea Market gets rolling early Saturday morning. Friday's mostly sunny at 49 with a hard freeze overnight (temps drop to 25); Saturday warms up to 54 and clear -- the better outdoor day.
Friday
LaCanne's Resort Kentucky Derby Party -- LaCanne's Resort on Swamp Lake, 7:00 PM CT
The Kentucky Derby is Saturday, but LaCanne's is getting the party started Friday night on Swamp Lake. No price was confirmed at time of publishing. It's a solid excuse to dust off a hat if you've got one sitting around.
Ann Marie's Summer Season Kickoff -- Ann Marie's, time TBD
Ann Marie's runs this kickoff both Friday and Saturday, with free wine samples, chocolate samples, and a raffle in the mix. Pricing details weren't confirmed, but the sampling portion sounds like it's on the house. Worth swinging by either day if you're in Minocqua.
Tea Party Fundraiser, Minocqua Library Foundation -- Minocqua Public Library, time TBD
The Minocqua Library Foundation is hosting this fundraiser to support library improvements -- think added space, updated resources, that kind of thing. Tickets were reportedly available in advance, so check the library's info before showing up expecting a walk-in. Price wasn't verified in time for this issue.
Community Baby Shower -- Safe Haven Christian Academy, time TBD
Connect puts on this annual event for new and expecting families in the Three Lakes area -- vendors, resources, and a chance to shop for what you need before the baby arrives. It's a community-driven event, not a ticketed show. Reach out to Safe Haven Christian Academy for timing details.
Saturday
Tomahawk Farm & Flea Market -- Qualheim's True Value, 8:00 AM CT
This one starts early -- doors at 8 AM at Qualheim's True Value in Tomahawk. Farm and flea markets in this area tend to fill vendor spots fast in May, so if you're going to browse or sell, the earlier the better. Price details weren't confirmed; admission to browse is often free at these, but we can't verify that here.
Bluey & Bingo Are Visiting the Library -- Tomahawk Public Library, 10:00 AM CT
This one was rescheduled and is now set for Saturday, May 2 -- doors open at 10 AM for all ages. Expect a dance party, keepy-uppy, crafts, and general chaos in the best way. If you've got a Bluey-obsessed kid at home, this is the Saturday morning plan.
Campanile's Community Band & Choir Concert -- Campanile Center For The Arts, time TBD
The Campanile's Community Band and Community Chorus take the stage together for what the listing describes as an afternoon of live music. Local community ensembles at Campanile tend to draw a genuinely warm crowd -- it's neighbors supporting neighbors. Price and exact showtime weren't confirmed.
