Nordeast Minneapolis Events

The Northeast neighborhood of Minneapolis hosts a number of events, many of them art related. Perhaps the most famous of these events is Art-A-Whirl, a weekend where local artists open their shops and studios to the public.

Run in September, the annual James Page Blubber Run is a fun 5k race that starts on old St. Anthony Main and runs mainly through Northeast Minneapolis. As the race website says,
" If you're not a speedy runner, don't fret, costumes, creativity and a great sense of fun count most in this 5K race. Bring your friends, bring the pet, bring the kids, wear your goofiest outfit, just show up and join in the fun. "

That's right - many race participants wear costumes, and prizes are awarded for the Best Costume, Best Group Costume, Best Pet/Human Costume, Best Kid/Adult Collaboration, Fastest Male Runner and Fastest Female Runner.
