You’re Invited to Our Annual Summer Picnic

This year we are headed to Saint Paul for our annual late summer picnic on Saturday, August 8, 2026, held from noon to 3pm. Come meet other Streets.mn community members, contributors, Board members, podcast listeners, and perhaps some new friends.

We are grilling entrees (meat and vegetarian options) and providing buns and condiments along with canned beverages. As usual, we encourage guests to bring a side or dessert to share. Guests and family are welcome too!

Please RSVP on our EventBrite so we can have an accurate headcount (and buy enough supplies for everyone). For any questions, please email [email protected]
