Groups of onlookers watching a canoe race in Baudette Bay from boats in the bay and vantage points along shore; a part of the Fourth of July festivities.
Could be the July 4th, 1907 celebration. Crowds with automobiles and what might be a hot air balloon in background. It is unclear what the event is or where it is being held but may be at Parade Stadium.
