Always Something to See & Do

A quick glance at the Forest Lake Area Calendar of Events shows that there’s always something to see and do here. You can check out one of the state’s oldest and largest July Fourth celebrations, which includes a carnival, bingo tents, street vendors, a huge parade, spectacular fireworks and more.

Sponsored since 1924 by American Legion Post 225, the extravaganza lasts several days! The action doesn’t stop there, however. We’ve still got the Farmers’ Market, Arts in the Park, Taco Daze, Linwood Family Fun Day, Hay Day Races, the Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament, an Ice Fishing Contest, Casino Night and Columbus Fest, to name just a few. Visitors can also take in one of the local historical sites or watch an auction.
