Loring Park, Minneapolis, is Chockful of Fun Activities
I-94 borders the Loring Park neighborhood to the south, Hennepin/Lyndale Avenues to the west, Hawthorne Avenue to the North, and 12th Street marks the boundary between it and the core downtown. The neighborhood can genuinely be called diverse and unique in many ways. It is primarily an adult community comprised of young professionals, retired suburban homeowners seeking the benefits of urban living, and a growing population of eastern European immigrants.

Endless Fun things to Do
The namesake park holds the Twin Cities Pride Festival in June, and the Holidazzle pitches its festive vendor tents there come winter. The Walker Art Center, a contemporary art museum, has an outdoor sculpture garden that’s free to the public—and the location of indie-leaning music festival Rock the Garden every summer. Near the park, the Basilica of St. Mary stands tall as the country’s first basilica, also the site of another big-time summer music fest, the Basilica Block Party in July.
