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.
MN Chef Series Dinner
Wednesday, February 18, 2026 (5:00 PM - 9:00 PM)
(CST)
Description
Join us for an intimate evening where local roots, seasonal ingredients and thoughtful technique create an unforgettable dining experience. For our next Chef Series, we welcome Molly Krinhop, a Minnesota native whose cooking is grounded in place, connection and the joy of gathering around the table.
Meet the Chef
Born and raised in South Minneapolis and the chef-owner of Molly’s in St. Bonifacius, Minn., Chef Molly’s culinary story began on her grandmother’s Iowa farm where meals were shaped by the day’s harvest and shared with intention. A Le Cordon Bleu–trained chef, Molly has cooked in some of the Twin Cities’ most beloved kitchens, including Lucia’s and La Belle Vie, before opening her own chef-driven, community-focused restaurant. Her style is warm, soulful, and deeply local, designed for people who love good food and great company.
