Eclectic Edge Ensemble

Ahhh, Summer is here!  Feels like an eternity since we've been able to enjoy the outdoors, but as we Minnesotans know we have to enjoy it while it lasts!  There are so many activities to enjoy, here's a list of some things you should be sure to check out this summer!

1.The Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, adjacent to the Walker Art Center near downtown Minneapolis, is bringing back its popular artist-designed mini golf course, this time with a full 18 holes. Ten new designs will join eight returning holes; each one is unique and created by a Minnesota-based artist, including architects, engineers and furniture designers. The course will be open May 22 through September.

2. More than 20 contemporary sculptures now call the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Chaska home, where they are artfully integrated into the natural setting. To see them, follow the walkways leading up to the grove of Kentucky coffee trees that encircle the arboretum’s highest viewpoint. The sculptures were donated by a local couple, who have been collecting artwork from around the world since the 1960s.

3. In July 2014, Target Field will host the MLB All-Star Game. Five days of events lead up to the game, including a home run derby, celebrity softball game and FanFest at the Minneapolis Convention Center, which features exhibits, batting cages, memorabilia and free autograph sessions.

4. 2014 marks the 11th year of Music in Mears and we are back with more then just great music!  Lowertown Entertainment District will be serving Summit beer and great food from their member restaurants along with a variety of food trucks each week!  http://musicinmears.com/schedule.html

5. Skyline Music Festival at Target Field features Melissa Etheridge, O.A.R., The Rembrandts, Gear Daddies and The Honeydogs on Aug. 9.

6. Free music and movies in the park happens all summer long!  Check out the link to the calendar and plan your night out and see one of these great classic films!  http://www.mplsmusicandmovies.com
