Waterfall Hike & Outdoor Concert

This event is being held in-person and is open to international and globally-minded students. Registration is now closed.

Join Global Minnesota for a fun Minnesota summer party!

Did you know that the word Minnehaha means “curling water” in the Dakota language? The Dakota people considered the area that today makes the Minnehaha Regional Park an ideal place to gather. Let’s gather and enjoy the last days of summer spending quality outdoor time with fellow international and globally-minded students by the beautiful Minnehaha Falls.

Explore the park’s natural beauty, including its 53-foot waterfall, and experience a scenic hike along the Minnehaha creek.

Then enjoy a light picnic with chips, trail mix, and any additional snacks and beverages you would like to bring. We’ll conclude with a live music concert at the bandstand near the waterfall, featuring acoustic guitar and Americana music.

• 4:30-5:00 pm: Arrival, Check-in, and Waterfall Pictures
• 5:00-6:00 pm: Hike
• 6:00-7:00 pm: Picnic Time
