Happy 4th of July! Time for barbecues, fireworks, and fun in the sun!

At the end of the month, it is time for us to celebrate our community and the river with the 40th Annual Riverboat Days on July 27 and 28. Join us for a weekend of great fun, from the duck derby to the volleyball tournament, and so much more. Saturday night we are excited to welcome Next 2 Nothing to the entertain us with fun music that everyone will love – and there is no cover charge. I expect to see everyone Under the Bridge and having fun!

Throughout the month, please make sure you take the time to get out enjoy the seasonal activities, like visiting the Wabasha Farmer’s Market and listening to some great talent at Music Under the Bridge .
