Meet new and familiar neighbors with music, food trucks, an Uptown Farmers Market pop-up, a bounce house—and of course, ice cream! This is a great opportunity to catch up and celebrate summer together. Come enjoy:
Free ice cream cones, and free treats from Isles Bun & Coffee
Bounce house for the kids (sorry, adults!)
Fire truck from Minneapolis Fire Dept
Free face painting by ARTrageous Adventures

Music by DJ Madi Johnson
And join us for a Trash Boom Celebration just down the street, 5–6pm! The boom capture system will catch trash from flowing out into the lake through storm drains, and it will raise awareness of how pollutants travel from city streets into our lakes and rivers. Come for the boom—stay for the Summer Social!
We’re also seeking volunteers! Consider tending a bounce house or scooping ice cream (many hands help our events run smoothly). Email info@eastisles.org.
