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.

The Cherry Blossom Tree: Paint and Sip Event

Saturday, May 16, 2026 (2:00 PM - 5:00 PM) (CDT)

Description


Enjoy the beauty of the blossoming trees minus the allergies!  Sara paints with you, step by step,  a charming, storybook scene of an old tire swing under a tree in its full bloom. This painting offers us some intermediate level opportunities, yet is easily simplified for the beginner! For the intermediate painter, learn how to paint layers of land with a path leading to the swing, giving us that illusion of space and distance. A simplified version removes the extra land, and simplifies the foreground. Try new brush techniques with Sara to create all the various shades of pink in the tree. There are many tricks and strategies, come and discover them!  Ages 16+ is recommended.

$45

Project Description: Acrylic paint  12×16 stretched canvas   Intermediate/later beginner level, with simplified options for a beginner.
