Facts About Summer
|
We're often asked: "how long does summer last in Minnesota?" If you are not familiar with our state, you may be surprised to know that, despite our reputation for snow and cold, our summers are long, warm and lovely.
The first day of summer, "officially" begins with the summer solstice. This is usually on June 21.
"Unofficially," we begin to celebrate summer right after Memorial Day the last weekend in May.
Families begin to get into summer mode in earnest as soon as school is out.
With the long summer days comes more opportunity for summer fun. You might want to fit in some summer recreation around your work schedule or take lots of summer vacation time to really indulge.
In either case, the Visit Minnesota site is a rich resource for facts about summer recreation, camping, festivals, concerts, kid-friendly summer fun and summer getaways in all parts of the state.
