4 Your Weekend: What to do in Minnesota on Sept. 25-27
WCCO is tracking everything you can go out and do 4 Your Weekend, including several fall festivals across Minnesota.
A.J.'s pick:
The Dakota Block Party is back on Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis. It's on Saturday from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. and it's free for all ages.
There will be four different music acts on the Nicollet stage and more inside the Dakota. Plus, there's a Kids' Corner with kid-friendly music and tons of activities, including an instrument "petting zoo," doughnut decorating and sidewalk chalk art.
You can also get some shopping done with the craft and vintage market and, of course, plenty of food and drinks.
Beret's pick:
The Spirit of the St. Croix Art Festival is this Saturday and Sunday at Lakefront Park in Hudson, Wisconsin, organized by the Phipps Center for the Arts.
This will feature more than 80 artists from the region with a mix of fine art and traditional crafts.
There are also free, hands-on art activities, demonstrations and live music.
Shayla's pick:
Dutton Days is Saturday from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Big Rock Creek in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin.
