October is officially turning pink, and this month, we’re putting women’s health, support and self-care front and center. Did you know? About 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will develop breast cancer during her lifetime. It’s a statistic that makes Breast Cancer Awareness Month an especially important time to check in with our health, support those facing a diagnosis and celebrate the strength of survivors in our community. In honor of the 1 in 8, we’ve rounded up 8 ways to support breast cancer patients, prioritize women’s health and think pink in Edina this October. From meaningful ways to give back and important health screenings to local experiences that offer a little comfort, connection and care, here’s how to make this month count.

There are plenty of reasons to plan a staycation, day trip or girls-only getaway in Edina, from seemingly endless shopping and design inspo to peerless arts programming, outstanding wellness offerings, and a prime location that puts all the area’s top attractions right within reach.

One of Edina’s favorite fall traditions returns September 12–13 as the 22nd Annual Edina Fall Into the Arts Festival fills Centennial Lakes Park and 7601 France Avenue with art, food and plenty to experience along the way.
