Superior North End Days Kicks Off With Art & Music: Continues Today With Parade, Street Dance & More

Sterling Rathsack @ The Spirit Room

Superior's North End community is celebrating this weekend. Today will feature a parade, a car show, activities for kids and a street dance. Here's a link so you can see the details as regards what and where and when today. The Superior Spooktacular Parade starts at 2:00. Just so you know.

Last night there was art and music in seven venues around the North End. Here are some photos from my own walkabout. If you live on the Superior side of the bridge, most of the art in these venues will be up for a while. You missed the music, however.

A couple items of note. Superior has had quite a bit of public art produced on many outdoor surfaces. If you drive on Banks, Ogden or in the alleys off Tower, you will see some of what was created during the Tower Avenue road project. This summer there was an extensive effort to help the community become aware of the storm drainage systems here. Artists were commissioned to produce sidewalk art around storm drains in various parts of the city. You can find photos of the drains at Framing By Stengl at 1720 Tower Avenue.

The Spirit Room has a variety of artists featured (Thank you, Linz) and Goin' Postal as well, as usual. VIP Vintage Pizza featured photographers, and Thirsty Pagan has photos by John Heino along with vintage signage. Art on the Planet had their doors open with music by Similar Dogs. Here are more photos from last night.

Get into it.
