As Minneapolis basks under the summer sun, local community festivities take a playful turn at Open Streets Cedarfest. Today, the streets of Cedar and Riverside are brimming with an eclectic blend of activities and food that beckon to families and fun-seekers alike. The City of Minneapolis Government took to social media to announce, "Today's the day! Grab the kids, friends and family and head out to Open Streets Cedarfest!" A list of attractions was shared and, trust us, it's something you'll want to experience firsthand.
The event is stacked with six hours of uninterrupted joy, offering everything from roller skating to wiener dog races. Though it may sound like a scene straight from a feel-good neighborhood movie, Cedarfest is a real-life community celebration designed to break the monotony of everyday life. To rapidly capture the essence of what makes an event like this tick, you only need to look at the activities on the menu: hot wings that challenge even the most seasoned of spice veterans, a dunk tank to splash away any semblance of a summer sweat, and more.
The yearly convergence of Cedarfest zealots showcases the vibrant fabric of Minneapolis life. A throwback to simpler times where community gatherings were the highlight of the summer, Cedarfest invites people to unwind, connect, and indulge in community spirit. This sentiment was echoed in the Facebook post from the City of Minneapolis Government - "Cedar and Riverside is the place to be today for Open Streets!"
