Our Mission
The mission of the St Louis Park Parktacular Festival is to provide St. Louis Park with an event that brings together local businesses and citizens of all ages to encourage a spirit of pride, a sense of community and an atmosphere of celebration for all residents. St. Louis Park Parkacular is held every year starting Wednesday of Father’s Day weekend, and ending Sunday on Father’s Day. We extended the Festival to 5 days, making Wednesday, June 17th our first day of the Festival.
Our History
St. Louis Park has been hosting a City celebration since the early 1900’s. The 1914 event was dubbed
as the “biggest jubilee celebration ever” in the Minneapolis Daily Newspaper. Through the years the celebration has been called Robin Hood Days and Party in the Park.
In the mid 1990’s, Vision 2000 was launched to determine what citizens wanted St. Louis Park to be in the new century. A resounding vote asked for a stronger community celebration, where citizens and groups could participate on a number of levels. The concept was discussed, embraced and the Parktacular Celebration was born. For more information, visit the St. Louis Park Historical Society page here.
