Beginning in 2019, the City of Burnsville will no longer host "Wednesday in the Park" or the "New Spaces Sunday Music in the Park" gatherings. Instead, the City is coordinating a BRAND NEW, day-long summer festival to take place on Thursdays June 6, July 25 and Aug. 22.
The festival will provide an opportunity to celebrate our great community with a day-long street fair in and around Nicollet Commons Park and the Ames Center Plaza. It will include mobile food vendors, craft and market vendors, live entertainment and much more. Details to come soon.
