* Petersburg celebrates [[Norwegian Constitution Day]] in a celebration called "Mayfest," on the third weekend in May. It is a huge celebration. Generally four days of festivities are planned, with the major events occurring early in the weekend. "Little Norway" celebrates May 17 with a longer and more enthusiastic celebration than any known Norwegian-American settlement or community. Recently Petersburg residents have traveled to Norway and have found that their American celebration of Norwegian Constitution day (Norwegian: ''grunnlovsdag'') is longer than that in Norway, where they celebrate only on May 17.
* The Petersburg Marine Mammal Center is located here.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.psgmmc.org/ |title=Petersburg Marine Mammal Center |publisher=Psgmmc.org |access-date=June 6, 2017}}</ref> It is a teaching center and supports research into new discoveries.
