Aquatennial

WEDS-SAT. 7/20-7/23. Free. All ages.
A summer in Minneapolis wouldn’t feel complete without Aquatennial. There are numerous events throughout the four-day festival, starting off with lawn games, a showing of Black Panther and the CenterPoint Energy Torchlight Parade. Over the next few days, head to downtown Minneapolis to learn to rollerskate, witness the Super Mario World-themed Twin Cities River Rats water ski show, browse through numerous markets, and more. The festival ends with a bang—a fireworks show with a choreographed soundtrack.
