Summer on the Lawn
About the Summer on the Lawn Series
Summers in Minnesota are precious times of gathering and making memories with friends, neighbors, and community members. Outdoor events under starry skies, warm temperatures, picnics, and plenty of bug spray make the season unforgettable. MHC is thrilled to present a free, family-friendly event series called Summer on the Lawn that encourages spending time together while enjoying and learning from the humanities in new, accessible, and sunshiny ways!
Picnics, lawn chairs, sun umbrellas, and blankets are welcome. Note that performances are outside with minimal shade. Please plan accordingly. Restrooms will be available for use at the Minnesota Humanities Event Center.
All events are free and open to the public. Please consider registering for one or all of these unique events.
