Our editors pick the very best of summertime in the Twin Cities: the water, the cocktails, the ice cream, the festivals, and more!
June 2010
We all love summer, but for different reasons. Some like to swim in the lakes; others would rather run around them. Some enjoy cocktails on the veranda' others prefer beer and a ballgame. To help whittle down the options, our editors have identified the very best of summer in the Twin Cities: the essential festivals, perfect cocktails, best local ice cream, and much more. So, pull up a lawn chair and enjoy. Your summer will thank you.
