Festival Friday


Every weekend during the summer in Minnesota you can find a festival to attend. Last week I started Festival Friday in which I will try to highlight festivals to attend for the weekend. If you don’t live in Minnesota that is okay there are probably just as many festivals in your state during the summer. Just go on-line and look for the ones that you are interested in.
Last weekend I highlighted Music Festivals and classic car shows. With most festivals there is some type of music but the true music festivals will get the big headliners.
Many communities will create festivals that rally around something that is special to their community. Cottage Grove has their Strawberry festival this weekend.  There is the Steamboat days in Wadena, the Judy Garland Festival in Grand Rapids, Tater Daze in Brooklyn Park and many more. Many of the northern communities center their festivals around the mythical Minnesota lumberjack, Paul Bunyan.
Pick your festival and attend. Maybe your community is having a festival. Check out what they have available at the festival. For example the Cottage Grove Strawberry Festival includes food, music, a carnival and more. I don't live in Cottage Grove I just picked one that sounded fun and ked like you had a number of events and days to choose from.
