🎉 The good news: plenty to do. The better news: we already made the list.

📆 The Twin Cities calendar is stacked, and we rounded up the good stuff so you don’t have to dig through seventeen Facebook events to figure out what’s actually worth leaving the house for. Festivals, family-friendly finds, markets, music, and a few things you probably haven’t heard about yet.

🔖 Save this post so you can find it Saturday morning when someone asks “what are we doing today?” Or send it to the friend who always says yes but never plans anything.

A fairy village appeared in the woods, and it vanishes August 1st. ✨

The Trail of Small Wonders is open now at Westwood Hills Nature Center in St. Louis Park, and it might be the most enchanting little walk you take all summer. 🥹

🧚‍♂️ Wander the trails to discover miniature fairy houses handmade by community members of all ages, tucked on tree stumps, nestled in the moss and stones, and even hanging from the branches.

A few things to know before you go: 🏡 On view now through August 1st 🌲 Open sunrise to sunset, no appointment needed 📍 8300 W Franklin Ave, St. Louis Park 💛 Free to visit
🚗 Parking can fill up, but there are spots in the surrounding neighborhood

Comment WONDER and we’ll send you the hours and directions.

Save this so you don’t lose it, and share with a friend who’d love to wander the village before it’s gone.

Okay, you have to see this one before the week is over. ⛵

Tucked into the fountains at People’s Plaza, between City Hall and the Hennepin County Government Center, there’s a little sailboat pond that feels like it was airlifted straight out of Paris.

💌 Comment SAIL and we’ll the details your way.

🇫🇷 The founder was inspired by the afternoons he spent sailing model boats with his son in the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris, and he brought that same slow, wind-and-water magic home to Minneapolis.

👉 Here’s how it works: pick a colorful boat, set it on the water, and chase it around the rim with a wooden pole.

⛵️💨 Twenty-plus little sails and a good gust doing all the work. Kids, grandparents, and anyone on a lunch break are going to *love* this.

📅 July 18, 19, 21, 22, 25 & 26
🕙 10 AM to 4 PM
📍 People’s Plaza, 352 S 5th St, Minneapolis
🎟️ $5 for 30 minutes

Comment SAIL and we’ll send them your way. 💌

Want the full lineup with times, locations, and all the details? 📅 Comment CALENDAR and we will send it right over 💛
