Weekend Happenings: Stone Arch Festival and Lake Minnetonka Triathlon

Stone Arch Festival of the Arts

This Father's Day weekend, take the entire family down to the Stone Arch Festival of the Arts, located on and around the historic Stone Arch Bridge in downtown Minneapolis.  In it's 16th year, the two day festival, held on June 18 & 19, 2011, will feature 250 artists, 60 live music performances (mostly local and regional bands), and family entertainment.  The event is free to the public and promises something for everyone in your family.

Lake Minnetonka Triathalon

Summer is the season for Triathlons in Minnesota.  And this weekend, Lake Minnetonka will be the host of one.  The sprint triathlon (0.5 mile swim, 15 mile bike ride, and 3 mile run) on June 18 is full so you can no longer participate in the event, but you can show up and cheer on your fellow athletes.  The race will be held at the Excelsior Commons and starts at 7:30 am.  Stop in at Dunn Bros., grab a coffee, and cheer on the racers!
