The Minnesota State Fair

The Minnesota State Fair
The Twin Cities keep partying while the sun shines, and there's plenty to see and do in August.

The biggest event of the summer, the Minnesota State Fair, opens on August 21, and runs until September 1.

The Minnesota Renaissance Festival, held annually in Shakopee, is a lot of fun for families and anyone who likes wearing leather britches in 90 degree heat. The festival is open on seven weekends and Labor Day, beginning on August 16.

Free outdoor concerts continue across Minneapolis, St. Paul and the Metro area.
