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 Summer Solstice
Sunday, June 21, 2026 (4:30 PM - 8:00 PM)
(CDT)
Description
Enjoy the longest sunset of the year lake-side at Madden's and support the Lakes Area Music Festival's Education Programs!
As music lovers, we know the value of a music education and fostering a lifelong relationship with music. It improves confidence and teamwork, supports brain development and emotional intelligence, provides social connections, and so much more. Yet, only 20% of Brainerd High School youth are enrolled in music, and 80% want opportunities to be more involved.
The Lakes Area Music Festival is working to change that. Summer Solstice is a celebration of great food and music. This annual fundraiser – complete with raffles and auctions – benefits our youth education programs, including the Music Mentors Project which brings professional musicians into the public schools of our region to inspire young musicians.
This event has limited capacity and typically sells out in advance.
