Maple Island Bridge Grand Opening Celebration
📅 Saturday, May 2, 2026 | 🕛 12:00 PM
📍 Maple Isle Park, Paw Paw
Join the Village of Paw Paw as we celebrate the grand opening of the brand-new Maple Island Bridge! This exciting milestone reconnects Maple Isle Park—one of the community’s most beloved landmarks—to the rest of the village.
Be part of the ribbon-cutting ceremony and enjoy a ceremonial “first crossing” to the island, where light refreshments will be waiting. The new bridge replaces the historic 90-year-old structure and features a wider design with scenic fishing platforms for visitors to enjoy.
The celebration also marks the opening of Paw Paw’s parks for the season—making it the perfect day to get outside and explore!
In case of inclement weather, the event will be held Sunday, May 3 at 2:00 PM.
