It’s true! Summer weather is finally here and as the season
comes to Minnesota, many of us are looking for a way to enjoy it. This year’s
Sartell SummerFest has what you’re looking for! SummerFest offers a whole host
of opportunities for fun and sun for all ages June 13- 14th.
The summer celebration kicks off on Friday with kid-friendly
Libertyville Carnival provided by Liberty Savings Bank in Pinecone Regional
Park. Libertyville is a family fun event featuring inflatables, games, food and
music! The event, running from 5- 9 p.m. offers activities for the whole family
to enjoy while out in the great evening weather. Music abounds with live music featuring
show tunes and patriotic music. Be sure to bring your own lawn chair or blanket
to enjoy the show!
Looking for an active way to enjoy the weather? After registering, participants can take part in a six-year
tradition - The SummerFest 5K Run. 5K’s can be intimidating for inexperienced
runners but never fear! According to Active.com, the 3.1-mile distance is “a
fantastic distance for beginning runners to conquer.” But if you’re new to the
running scene and want to help prepare your body click here
for some “Couch to 5k” tips. Still not sure if running is for you? Sartell
SummerFest also offers a 3K walk for a more leisurely approach and a 1K Kid’s
Fun Run. All proceeds from the event go towards expanding recreational
opportunities in the Sartell area for all ages.
Rest up after Friday’s run because Saturday festivities begin
at 10 a.m. with the SummerFest parade! Featuring 70-75 parade units and 8
marching bands, the parade is a great showcase of the area. Whether you’re
watching the parade or are entered in the lineup, the event is sure to be
filled with excitement!
Make sure to
bring your dancing shoes because the Free Partners Pub Street Dance returns
this year! You can dance the night away from 6 p.m. - 12 a.m. at Great River
Bowl & Partners Pub parking lot. Live music by Whiskey Tango and DiamondBack
begins at 6!
Need a break from dancing? Take a break at 10 p.m. to enjoy the fireworks show
sponsored by Blue Line Sports Bar & Grill.
