A beloved Long Lake tradition fills the water with color as festively decorated boats cruise by to celebrate creativity, music, flags, lake life, and American pride. The parade stages on the north side of the lake near HoneyRock Camp, then moves counter clockwise along the west side, rounds the point, and officially concludes at the channel to Planting Ground. After the finish, boats are encouraged to continue a full lap to keep the festivities alive around the shoreline. The Most Patriotically Decorated Boat Award invites big ideas and bold displays, from flags and inflatables to costumes, patriotic music, and playful Northwoods energy. Larger and more imaginative designs are encouraged. A candy tossing tradition adds to the fun. If handing out treats, use items that float rather than sink. Past approaches have included sealing candy in air-filled zipper bags, using long buckets on poles, floating tosses, or carefully managed slingshots. Spectators can watch from docks or enjoy the view from the water. Because public shoreline viewing on Long Lake is limited, visitors from nearby lakes are encouraged to anchor their boats and take in the show from the lake. No sign up is required, and participants can meet at the staging area on the north side of the lake to take part. It is all about boats, bald eagles, and lake life, wrapped in red, white, and blue spirit.

The Driftless Revelers at the Town Pump, Rhinelander
Town Pump hosts the return of The Driftless Revelers for a lively night of offbeat string-band roots and freak folk. Formed during the second spring of the 21st century’s first global pandemic, this Eau Claire, Wisconsin group blends a love for early 20th century shellac-era sounds with the exploratory spirit of 1960s and 1970s American freak-folk. Since their 2021 debut tour, they have traveled widely across the Upper Midwest and West Coast, sharing stages with figures like Tim O’Brien, the Gibson Brothers, and Larry Stephenson, alongside artists including Big Richard, The Stillhouse Junkies, Willy Tea Taylor, The Pine Box Boys, The Montvales, Joseph Huber, Davey Allen and the Midnights, and Dig Deep, with spotlight sets at gatherings such as The Good Luck Campout, The Sol Grass Music Festival, Flatrock Bluegrass Jamboree, Mile of Music in Appleton, and The Midsummer in the Northwoods Bluegrass Festival. Known for irreverent humor, original songs, and a Midwest twist on American roots, their onstage banter and spirited sets have drawn comparisons to Ween, Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, They Might Be Giants, Tenacious D, Cheech and Chong, and the Holy Modal Rounders. The band’s recordings include American Fork Standards from 2022, Live at the Slowpoke Lounge and Cabaret from 2024, and In the Kitchen with the Driftless Revelers from 2025, the first album they toured nationally. At Town Pump, expect original songwriting from Ben Nelson, Matthew R. Sayles, and Jerod Kaszynski, wah-inflected banjo, resonator steel guitar, and upright bass pulsing through early blues and jazz roots, hillbilly string-band shouts, and a sound that lives somewhere between folk and psychedelia. The night builds with joy, keeps feet moving to a cosmic rhythm, and lingers long after the final note fades.
