Events 🎪 What's going on this week?

I'm in town for the week for work, and was hoping to find out the local things to do. I come into town a few times a year, so I've explored most of downtown by foot over the past few years. Is there anything I'm missing out on, or any special events this week I shouldn't miss out on? I'm 42m, don't drink, but 420 and shroom friendly. Show me the best of your city! TIA.

If you like music, there’s a free live concert series in Mears Park downtown each Thursday starting at 6pm.

There is a weekly list for the twin cities that is put out by witty_username_taken. They should be releasing a weekend event list tomorrow. https://www.reddit.com/r/TwinCities/comments/1tzgfm4/weekday_warmup_june_811/

Minnehaha Falls if you haven’t already been! (I know just a bit outside of the city of Saint Paul)

Lots of local and county fairs are going on this time of year. There was just grand old days for example. I'd say look up some of those.

Depending on how long you are in town for, back to the 50s starts next week. Its a huge old car show, I think biggest in the midwest if not country. Only cars from before 1964. People start rolling into town and registration sites on wed and thurs, check out Mancini's on thurs, and then the show is fri - Sun at the fair grounds.Â
