4th In The Park

The 4th in the Park committee thanks you for coming out today to celebrate with us despite the rain! Since we plan for this day all year long we were disappointed to have to cancel our afternoon plans and hope 2025's event will be picture perfect weather!

Congratulations to the 2024 Michael Brasel Spirit of the Park Award recipient Mark Hansen!

So happy to have @MayorCarter be a part of our celebration and congratulate the amazingly talented Saint Anthony Park Elementary 5th grade essay winners!

Come down to the bandstand after the parade for our program! We'll be giving out the Spirit of the Park award along with our essay contest winners starting around noon.

Parade is almost ready to start!!!

Parade is still planned for 11am. We're getting lined up and ready to go!

If you didn't get your free t-shirt yet please stop by Ned's Park Service on Como starting at 10:30 to get yours! Free flags will also be available!

Due to the severe weather coming this afternoon we are cancelling all programming after the bandstand program ends at 1pm. This includes sports tournaments, kid's zone, and band performances. The parade is still planned to occur.

A HUGE thank you to John Magnuson for organizing the running races for the last 50 years!!! The 4th in the Park couldn't do it without you!

And they're off to a soggy start!

Good morning! Running races are still happening as there will be some rain but no thunderstorms.

We are keeping a close eye on the weather and will announce any postponements/cancellations here. Current forecast from Dr. Mark Seeley is 20% chance for showers from 6am-9am, 30-40% chance between 10am-1pm, then 80% chance for remainder of the day. Temps in the low to mid 70sF.
