IGH Days Kick Off With Street Dance Tonight, Activities Through Weekend

Summer's not over until we say it is!

A hot and sunny weekend will greet revelers tonight for the Inver Grove Heights Days kickoff, and the weather should cooperate the entire weekend as the community gathers for this weekend's celebration of all things IGH. 

Tonight, for families, there is a host of things to do at the Simley Middle School. Meanwhile, those without kids (or with?) who want to get their "bingo" on can hit the Village Square lot for IGH's biggest bingo event of the summer. 

Then, it's time to shake it, as Uncle Chunk plays in the Drkula's 32 lot from 7 p.m. to midnight tonight. 

Saturday's activities include the annual coronation and fireworks, highlighted by the Grand Parade at 11 a.m.

Sunday, close down the weekend with the community expo and car show, among other fun activities.
