Everything a small town festival should be. Come to Carver this weekend on the beautiful Minnesota River to experience Steamboat Days. The festival features a medallion hunt, car show, 5K run/walk, kickball and softball tournaments, street dances, burnout contest, Miss Carver coronation, church bazaars, food vendors and beer tent, pancake breakfast, parades, and fireworks on Friday and Saturday evenings. There is a city-wide garage sale going on the entire festival weekend as well. The event is topped off with the Grand Day Parade starting at 1:00 pm on Sunday afternoon. This is a crowd favorite parade that runs 4 blocks and lasts 2 hours, so be sure to come early (parking is hard to find without a long walk) and bring a big bag for the candy and goodies.
