The recent City Council meeting in Lincoln Park highlighted a vibrant array of community events and initiatives aimed at fostering local engagement and celebrating the city’s centennial. Among the key discussions was the announcement of the second concert in the "Tuesday Tunes" series, featuring the band 50 Amp Fuse. Residents were encouraged to enjoy the music while cooling off in the park, with food trucks available to enhance the experience.

In addition to the Tuesday concert, the council promoted a Thursday performance by Raising the Dead, set to begin at 7:00 PM. The weekend will also see the much-anticipated Downriver Cruise, featuring car shows and live music, including a performance by the popular Canadian kids' band, "Leave Those Kids Alone." The excitement continues with the "Battle of the Bands" scheduled for June 28, promising a lively showcase of local talent.

Another significant highlight from the meeting was the recognition of 128 homes and four businesses in Lincoln Park that are celebrating their 100th anniversaries this year. This initiative coincides with the city’s own centennial celebration. Signs have been placed in the yards of these historic properties, allowing residents to acknowledge and celebrate their rich history. The community response has been positive, with residents encouraged to greet these homes with a wave and a cheerful "happy 100th birthday."

The meeting also included routine administrative matters, such as the approval of minutes from previous meetings. Overall, the council's discussions reflect a commitment to community spirit and heritage, as well as a focus on providing engaging activities for residents. As Lincoln Park approaches its centennial, these events and recognitions serve to strengthen community ties and celebrate the city’s history.
