Port Huron’s McMorran Place is bringing back glamour with a black-tie gala to restore the city’s iconic Night & Day Fountain. The Night & Day Ball is set for March 19th at the McMorran Theater, aiming to raise funds for professional restoration of the landmark sculpture by Marshall M. Fredericks. The fountain has long been a local gathering spot and a symbol of Port Huron’s cultural heritage. Guests can enjoy an elegant evening of food, drinks, and entertainment, with all proceeds supporting the restoration. Tickets and sponsorships will be available early next year.
