There’s nothing quite like summer in Minnesota, where nature, community, and adventure come together to create unforgettable experiences. Whether you're enjoying a meal under the open sky, dancing at a local festival, stargazing in one of the world’s best dark sky parks, or relaxing on a pristine lake, Minnesota offers a season full of outdoor delights. Embrace the warm weather and explore everything the Land of 10,000 Lakes has to offer — one picnic, paddle, and patio at a time.
Dining Outside
From pizza farms to lakeside patios, there are plenty of places to dine outside in Minnesota. It’s nearly impossible not to find a park near you. Order takeout from your favorite restaurant or pack a picnic and spread out a blanket in one of our many green spaces. Dine out by the water or take in the city skyline at a rooftop restaurant or bar.
Take in a Fair or Festival
Summer is festival season in Minnesota. From iconic events like the Minnesota State Fair to memorable local events like food truck festivals, county fairs, and music festivals, there’s always something happening in the summer.
Go Stargazing
Minnesota’s great outdoors are amazing places for stargazing. Two International Dark Sky Parks — Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and Voyageurs — offer exceptional viewing ops due to their open spaces and low light pollution. The Northern Lights can also be seen at various times during the summer.
Experience Lake Life
Summer in Minnesota means lake time. With 11,842 to choose from, there are endless places to get out on the water. Canoe, kayak, or paddleboard on the lake or rent one with the city’s paddle share or parks programs. Plan a resort getaway, rent a houseboat or a cabin to stay near the water.
