At the Heart of Every Family Tradition Lies a Great Experience Worth Repeating
No matter when you decide to visit, you’ll find events happening. We host signature events like the Pequot Lakes Stars & Stripes Days in July. Have you been to the best St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Minnesota?! You’ll find the parade in Crosslake. How about kickin’ your boots up at Lakes Jam—the Lakes Area’s biggest country and rock fest. Other local businesses and communities host festivals, live music, and even fireworks. Make these popular events a family tradition.
Boards & Brews - A Skatepark Fundraiser
Saturday, October 4, 2025 (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM)
(CDT)
Description
Grab your decks, your friends, and your checkbook — let’s build something awesome together.
Join us 1-4pm, as we host a skate-park fundraiser in our front parking lot to benefit the Lakes Area Skatepark Association, whose mission is “to provide a safe and accessible skatepark for the Lakes Area youth & community.” Lakes Area Skatepark
We’ll have portable ramps and rails set up from the Lakes Area Skatepark crew so you can catch skate demos, try a trick or two, and see firsthand what your donations are going toward. Not a skateboarder? You’re more than welcome to hang out and watch the action. Smokin’ Desk will be providing the live music to keep the energy flowing.
Here’s what you can do to help:
Show up — bring your crew.
Bring your checkbook — individual or business donations will go directly to building the park.
Enjoy community — this is more than skating. It’s about giving youth a safe place, creating something lasting here at home.
Why it matters: The Lakes Area Skatepark is working hard to raise funds, spread awareness, and plan for a full‐time skatepark. Right now, youth in Brainerd/Baxter don’t have a permanent, safe gathering spot to ride, practice, belong. Your support builds more than ramps — it builds community.
See you there — boards in hand, pints raised, community thriving.
