Between the balmy and beautiful weather, long days and lively nights, there’s no better time than spring and summer to make the most of the metro area just outside Minneapolis. A spirited mix of stylish restaurants, shops, hotels and spas, Edina is a prime location for letting go without straying too far from such major draws as Minnehaha Falls, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and the sculpture garden that stars a larger-than-life spoon and cherry.

As Edina’s beloved Fall into the Arts Festival gets set to celebrate its 18th year in Centennial Lakes Park on September 10 and 11, we thought we’d introduce five of the many artists that’ll be sharing their very best work all weekend.

If there's one thing we all learned during lockdown, it was how to truly appreciate the restorative power of sunlight and a little fresh air. Whether you're window shopping around 50th & France or exploring one of our many sprawling greenspaces, it's easy to get your daily dose of Vitamin D in Edina. All while being just minutes away from South Minneapolis and such like-minded areas as Linden Hills, St. Louis Park, and Hopkins. 

It’s patio season and enjoying outdoor drinks and eats are some of the top things to do on a sunny day in Edina, Minnesota. Whether you want to be a part of the dynamic energy in downtown or take in the scenic views, that patio scene in Edina has it all, including romantic and family-friendly restaurants.

From gorgeous venues like Centennial Lakes Park to bakeries like Sweet Retreat that whips up delicious and delightful wedding cupcakes, Edina, Minnesota, is the perfect destination to have your dream wedding.
