SUMMARY:Aquatennial
DESCRIPTION:Minneapolis Aquatennial returns July 18–26\, 2026\, bringing nine days of summer celebration to the city. One of the Midwest’s longest-running civic festivals\, Aquatennial fills Minneapolis with lakeside concerts\, neighborhood markets\, and the iconic Torchlight Parade. It is the kind of event that draws locals and visitors alike every single year. \nFrom live music on the water to the glow of the Torchlight Parade lighting up downtown Minneapolis\, Aquatennial covers a lot of ground over its nine-day run. The neighborhood markets add a more laid-back side to the festival\, giving attendees a chance to browse local vendors and soak up the summer atmosphere between bigger events.
