Town Traditions: Woodbury Days

WOODBURY, 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 tradition for east metro residents is Woodbury Days. The three-day festival is jam-packed with family fun and yummy food.

Woodbury Days was canceled in 2020 to protect the approximately 35,000 visitors and volunteers during the COVID-19 pandemic. But the festival made a roaring comeback in 2021, and again in 2022.

Woodbury Days 2022 was attended by about 25,000 people, and about 200 businesses participated, according to the Woodbury Days Council.

Events at last year's festival included a bingo tent, basketball tournament, volleyball tournament, live music, carnival games and ride, a beer tent, car show, and specific kids activities such as the "Coin Hunt," "LEGO Build," "Ice Cream Cone Art," and the "Stuff-n-Fluff."

Woodbury Days is put on by volunteers on the Woodbury Days Council. The organization aims to "bring the community together" and is made up of local residents and business owners who care about Woodbury.

Woodbury Days 2023 is scheduled for Aug. 18 through Aug. 20 at the city's Ojibway Park.
