Everyone is welcome to celebrate.
NorthLakes Community Clinic is inviting the public to its annual Iron River Community Appreciation Party on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. at the clinic located at 7665 US Highway 2.
This free, family-friendly gathering is open to everyone and offers an opportunity for neighbors to come together, enjoy good food and live music, and celebrate the community spirit that makes Iron River special.
This year’s event will feature live music, activities for kids, and a variety of food options, including brats, burgers, hot dogs, and non-meat choices. Guests can also enjoy drinks, prizes, and time to connect with local staff and providers from NorthLakes.
NorthLakes Community Clinic has been part of the Iron River community for 18 years and has hosted community appreciation events like this for over 10 years as a way to bring people together outside the clinic setting.
“This event is one of our favorite traditions,” said Ana Tochterman, NorthLakes CEO. “It’s a chance to step away from appointments and spend time with the community in a different way—connecting, listening, and simply enjoying time together.”
These community appreciation events reflect the important role Community Health Centers play in expanding access to care and supporting overall community wellbeing.
“Strong communities are built on connection,” said Michael Neumann, physical therapist and clinic manager and in Iron River. “When people feel comfortable, supported, and connected, it has a real impact on health. That’s what this event is all about.”
NorthLakes looks forward to welcoming residents of Iron River and surrounding areas for an evening of music, food, fun, and meaningful connection. For more information about the event or services offered at NorthLakes Community Clinic, visit nlccwi.org or call (715) 372-5001.
