Town Traditions: Maple Grove Days

MAPLE GROVE, MN — It may be hard to believe, but summer is just around the corner. And summer in the Twin Cities means outdoor community festivals.

A favorite, long-standing tradition for northwest metro residents is Maple Grove Days. The five-day festival is jam-packed with family fun and yummy food.

The festival has been around for more than 30 years, sponsored by the Maple Grove Community Organization. But Maple Grove Days was canceled in 2020 to protect visitors and volunteers during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The event came roaring back in 2021 and again in 2022.

Maple Grove Days 2023 will take place July 12-16. Events include a beer tent, live music, golf a medallion hunt, parades, outdoor movies, games for all ages, bed races, a business expo, an ambassador coronation, a fishing clinic, outdoor yoga, a silent auction, corn feed, kiddie games, and of course, fireworks.

See details for the events here. Or become a volunteer for this year's festival.
