Join the National Loon Center in celebrating Minnesota’s treasured loons and lakes with a weekend of fun events at the second annual Minnesota Loons & Lakes Festival in Crosslake!

All events are FREE for the public!

Beginning on June 20, the Summer Solstice, spend the longest day of the year out on the water with guided paddle excursions and educational loon-watching pontoon tours! The next day, head over to the Crosslake Town Square to check out the Loon Fair – a social gathering of vendors and exhibitors featuring an art market, presentations, and food trucks. The Town Square will feature family activities throughout the day, and live music in the gazebo to send off the night! Check out the schedule below!
