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.
Drive By Brats in Crosslake
Friday, May 8, 2026 (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM)
(CDT)
Description
Enjoy fresh grilled Brats and Hot Dogs at the annual May "Drive By Brat" Sale. The volunteers from Light Up the Dam will be grilling and serving right to your car. Take lunch to go, or enjoy lunch at the beautiful Crosslake Recreation Area overlooking the Dam on Crosslake.
Call ahead to order lunch for your employees, or swing thru on your way to the fishing camp! $6 for a Brat/Chips/Soda, and ala cart options.
100% of the revenue provides seasonal lighting for the Dam and surrounding property. You'll see the American Flag during the summer months, Christmas displays and decorations during the holiday months, a big green Shamrock to compliment March's Best St. Patrick's Day Celebration in the state, and colored lights adorn the dam throughout the year.
So if you like the lights, buy a Brat!
Sponsors include Reeds Market, Pan-O-Gold Buns and Pepsi
