Missed out on tickets to tomorrow night’s sold-out Bizhiki show at the Arrowhead Center for the Arts? Come on up to Grand Portage this evening!

Bizhiki will be sharing music at the Grand Portage Lodge & Casino at 6:30 PM. The show is free and open to all. Even if you snagged tickets for tomorrow, it’s a gorgeous day for an outing—the fall colors along the shore are splendid!

The Lodge restaurant’s steak buffet runs from 4–9 PM, so you can make an evening of it. Dinner and a show! Hope to see you there!
