Craft Fest, Night Market, and Historic Homes: Minneapolis-Saint Paul Buzzes with Summer Events
Minneapolis-Saint Paul is buzzing with summer energy, and this weekend is packed with events for everyone. Let’s jump right in.
Today and tomorrow at Union Depot in St. Paul, the American Craft Fest takes center stage. This free, all-ages event features work from more than 50 emerging artists, hands-on craft activities, great local food trucks, and a preview party with a complimentary drink if you want to kick things off early. If you’re heading downtown don’t forget that there’s construction around St. Paul, so the light rail might be your best bet getting there. The festival runs Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and wraps up Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. More details can be found on the American Craft Council website.
For listeners in the mood to celebrate cultural diversity, check out the Little Mekong Night Market, also happening both Saturday and Sunday in St. Paul. This vibrant street market is famous for its dazzling lanterns, live performances, and a mouthwatering range of Southeast Asian street food. It’s a must for foodies and night-owls alike, and the crowds are always energetic. According to Visit Saint Paul, the Hmong International Freedom Festival is also this weekend, offering sports, music, and dozens of food vendors at Como Park. It’s a perfect chance to celebrate Hmong culture and community.
Art lovers looking for more should try the Summit Avenue Walking Tour. History buffs and architecture fans can take a 90-minute guided walk through St. Paul’s legendary mansion district, kicking off at the James J. Hill House. Tours start at 10 a.m., and you’ll cover about a mile and a half of stunning historic homes. Plus, history comes alive with Free Train Day at the Hill House as well. This event covers everything from model train tables and kids’ crafts to Victorian lawn games, food trucks, and live music. Admission is completely free, so bring the family for a full day of fun.
Families with younger kids can swing by Rosedale Center for Store Front Studio KIDS, featuring music, dance, and interactive games led by the Twin Cities Road Crew. Minneapolis and St. Paul are also surrounded by local community festivals this weekend, including the Afton Strawberry Festival, Apple Valley Freedom Days, Blaine Festival, and more. According to Family Fun Twin Cities, these are great for parades, fireworks, carnival rides, and plenty of local eats.
Baseball fans can catch the St. Paul Saints at CHS Field, with home games running all week long. With themed promotions, family activities, and the chance to see fireworks, there’s a reason these games are a local favorite. Visit Saint Paul highlights the fun atmosphere where you can enjoy a real slice of Minnesota summer.
As July approaches, keep an eye out for city-hosted Fourth of July celebrations all across the metro. There are parades, concerts, and fireworks displays gearing up for next week.
