Events by Month

For the last year, a team of engineers, planners, and landscape architects have been looking for sustainable ways to improve travel onto and around Belle Isle. They have developed Seven (plus) Big Ideas for achieving this goal and invite the public to the Belle Isle Mobility Open House at the Dossin Great Lakes Museum to review these potential solutions and give their feedback.

Admission to the Open House is free of charge

If you've ever wanted to see a 100-year-old boat motor run, or appreciate the futuristic designs of mid-century outboards, stop by the Dossin Great Lakes Museum for this outdoor show.

This annual event is presented in partnership with the Great Lakes Chapter of the Antique Outboard Motor Club, Inc., and features dozens of outboard motors, antique skiffs and race boats, and model racing boats.

No RSVP is necessary for this free event! Admission to the museum will also be free during event hours.
