  • Who: anyone, all ages from 0 years old to 100 years old
  • Where: Boom Island Park in Northeast Minneapolis

If you feel compelled, bring a pot luck item to share. We’ll have grilled sausages (veggie and meat) and beverages on hand for you.

Stay tuned for more info!

Fun facts about Boom Island:

  • It snowed there this year on February 10th
  • It is not an island, but it was once
  • It used to be covered in mountains of coal and/or piles of logs
  • There’s a weird small blue lighthouse nearby
  • There’s a cool old railroad bridge that connects it to Nicollet Island, which is a real island
  • It’s really flat, without many trees

Hope to see you there!
