Summer Fete
Music, food, fun and fireworks!
Balloons, laughter and the smell of popcorn fill the park.
Please join us for what has become the true “ringing in” of Independence Day in the Twin
Cities - Summer Fete.
Bloomington’s Summer Fete, held July 3 at Normandale Lake Park, will be a daylong event this
year, with a carnival starting at noon and lasting until the end of the fireworks show.
- Slated for this year are two entertainment stages featuring a great
lineup of performers starting at 3 p.m.
- The pyrotechnics display for this
year promises to be even better than the huge and wildly popular 2008 show.
- Families will love the
new expanded carnival area on at the Corner of Normandale Blvd. and 84th Street.
This year’s
play are will feature many more inflatables and games than ever before, and its noon start time
will allow for a full day of fun.
- The usual selection of quality food vendors will also be expanded this
year, and food will be available for purchase beginning at noon.
- Get your official Summer Fete t-shirts
and buttons for $10 and $2 respectively.
