Summer
Summer sizzles in Minneapolis. Shorts and sandals are standard as the city comes alive with bikers, joggers and sunbathers. With festivals practically every weekend and 22 lakes to enjoy, there's something for everyone.
Season Opener
Welcome summer at the May Day Festival in Powderhorn Park. Bright colors, bands and huge puppets celebrate summer's arrival at this unique annual event.
Last Hurrah
Kitsch meets cool at the season's last party: the Minnesota State Fair. With animal barns, tractor displays, butter sculptures and more food on a stick than you can imagine, it's a true Minnesota experience.
