There's Always Something To do in The Brainerd Lakes Area

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.

LAMF Season Opening Gala: Pas de Deux

Friday, July 31, 2026 (5:30 PM - 8:30 PM) (CDT)

Description

In ballet, a pas de deux—literally “a dance for two”—is an intimate duet, a shared expression of trust, tension, and passion. At our season-opening gala, that idea expands: orchestra and audience, tradition and celebration, all moving together as one. Our Symphony Orchestra is joined by dancers from American Ballet Theatre to set the floor in motion with dance music spanning classical ballet to sweeping ballroom waltzes, sultry tangos, and more; each piece pulsing with the season’s theme of passion.


This unforgettable night is also our largest fundraiser of the year, fueling the artistry and community that define LAMF.
