Owámni Falling Water Festival
Join us for a celebration of Indigenous culture, music, food, art, and history in one of the Twin Cities’ most culturally significant places.
The festival honors the cultural and historical significance of Owámniyomni, the Dakota name for the falls, meaning “turbulent water.” This event is made possible through the generous support of a grant from the Saint Anthony Falls Heritage Board.
Visitors can enjoy Indigenous-owned food vendors, Indigenous artists and makers, nonprofit community partners, live musical performances, traditional dance, and hands-on games and art activities for all ages.

East Bank Bike Tour: Fall 2026
This fall, EBNP is bringing two of our community events together by combining the East Bank Bike Tour with EXPLORE COMO! A Neighborhood Celebration. The Bike Tour will give participants an opportunity to explore the East Bank neighborhoods on two wheels, highlighting local destinations, neighborhood improvements, and points of interest along the way before finishing at EXPLORE COMO! There, riders can join neighbors for the Como Cookout, local food trucks, neighborhood businesses, community organizations, family activities, and more. By bringing these events together, we hope to create a fun, active way for people to explore the East Bank while making EXPLORE COMO! a true destination and celebration of the Southeast Como community.

Rethinking Nicollet Island Pavilion
MPLS Park & Recreation Board seeks input over potential change of use at the Nicollet Island Pavilion
MPRB is seeking input from the neighborhood regarding a possible change of use for the Nicollet Island Pavilion.
After 25 years as an event center that focuses on private events, the MPRB is hoping this venue can become more accessible to the public daily. They expect to issue a request for interest to potential operators early this fall. If an appropriate change of use comes forward and is accepted by MPRB, the neighborhood could see a new use in early 2028.
MPRB seeks to be a good neighbor and would like to discuss potential neighborhood concerns associated with a change of use, so they can guide the process appropriately.
