The Duluth Airshow is set to take place at Duluth International Airport, celebrating its 25th anniversary with the theme "Red, White & Blues." This year’s show features the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and the Canadian Forces Snowbirds, along with other impressive acts like the F-22 Raptor Demo Team, U.S. Army Golden Knights, and the B-25 "Rosie’s Reply".
Thirty-five years since the groundbreaking Platinum-certified album Doolittle catapulted the band into the UK Top Ten, and 20 years after their celebrated reformation at Coachella, Pixies are deep into their second act. Bigger than ever, playing to fans spanning multiple generations and in the midst of their most creative purple patch. A brand new album - titled The Night the Zombies Came - marks the group’s tenth studio record (if you count 1987’s Come On Pilgrim).

Welcome to the Annual Detroit Lakes Festival of Birds! Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced birder, the Festival of Birds has something for you! Detroit Lakes is located in a unique merging of three biomes – tallgrass prairie, hardwood and conifer forests with a landscape peppered with lakes and wetlands. This habitat is a migration hotspot for more than 250 species of birds! Our festival goal is to provide you with a quality birding experience.
Join us for this fun summer time event! Ice Cream Social & Old Car Cruise-In, Crazy Days Sidewalk Sales, Kiddie Parade, Food Vendors, Music, and more.
The annual celebration of the gift of cherry trees from the Japanese government in 2012 will take place from 9 to 11:30 am on Saturday, May 3rd. Taikollaborative will start us off with a BANG at 9 am near the Mannheimer Memorial, Sansei Yonsei Kai will perform traditional Sakura dances and also invite the audience to participate. We have two special guests this year. Edo Bayashi will perform a traditional Lion Dance and former Nagasaki mayor Tomihisa Taue will be in attendance!
A show of 100's of classic cars and rods all parked on the beautiful shores of Buffalo Lake. For car buffs or just a great family get together! Food and music!
Nisswa is the place to be the day after Thanksgiving! While others are thinking about the hustle and bustle of Black Friday shopping, the Nisswa downtown is creating a Norman Rockwell scene. Festivities for the annual event begin in the afternoon with wagon rides, storytelling, food vendors, bonfires, Polar Express story reading in the historic caboose, holiday carolers and live reindeer. Pioneer Village is the setting for the live nativity, and Love Lights a Tree program, which supports Good Samaritan Society's Home Hospice program.

The Celebrate the Light of the World display at the Koosman home began as one man’s idea and grew into an amazing family tradition. As the lights have grown so has their family and their love for their community. After ten years, the Koosmans have handed the responsibility for Celebrate the Light of the World to Willmar Fests. The tradition will continue for years to come for the Willmar Lakes Area and all those who come to see and Celebrate the Light of the World!
