Normandale Lake Bandshell

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.
