This quaint river town boasts more than meets the eye. Paved paths around the succulent city of Red Wing offer biking, hiking, and rollerblading experiences. Parks along the river present a scenic gathering spot for families to picnic, play, or merely relax. Levee Park, just steps away from the historic train depot, welcomes the beautiful river boats throughout the summer months.
While roaming Red Wing, keep a watchful eye for the revived iconic boots. Newly decorated boots can be found on the walking bridge connecting the upper harbor to Old West Main Street and elder boots can be found within the historic downtown area.
Within the heart of downtown, join the fun at Central Park. The beautifully landscaped area located between East and West Avenue invites all ages to engage with musicians throughout the summer. Free concerts take place every Wednesday, June 1, through August 31.
Book your rooms now for the big river town festivities. All are welcome to attend the River City Days events August 5–7. Sturdiwheat hosts a pancake breakfast at the Red Wing regional airport (located just across the river). Partake in an arts and craft fair, sing along to some live music at Bay Point Park, visit vendors and food trucks, and then wrap up your weekend with the traditional parade on Sunday. The 38th annual event will be bigger than the last. This time of year draws people from all over the state. Contact your favorite lodging facility today.
