Last Chance to Enjoy Music in the Park This Summer

Residents have one last chance this summer to grab a blanket or lawn chair and enjoy Music in the Park.

The season’s final show features Bend in the River, a 17-piece big band. The concert takes place at 7 p.m. Aug. 6 at the outdoor amphitheater at the Minnetonka Civic Center Campus.

National Night Out Takes Place Aug. 6

Each year, Minnetonka Night for Neighbors brings neighbors together who maybe don’t see much of each during the rest of the year.

The National Weather Service isn’t forecasting the best weather—to say the least. There’s a 70 percent chance of rain, mainly after 4 p.m. With Minnetonka Night for Neighbors taking place from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., the timing couldn’t be worse.

But a little wet weather doesn’t have to stop the block parties, cookouts, ice cream socials, potlucks, games and more. So huddle under an umbrella or a tarp and get to know your neighbors.

And while you’re at it, consider sharing your party photos on Patch. Yes, we’re a community news website, but Patch should also be a place for you to celebrate what’s happening near you, and what matters to you.
