The Friendship Force of St. Louis invites you to join them on a Friendship Force journey to the Twin Cities — Minneapolis & St. Paul, Minnesota! 🌳 Set along the Mississippi River and dotted with lakes, gardens, and free summer concerts, this week-long journey blends big-city culture, riverfront history, and the warm hospitality of local Friendship Force hosts — all timed to the kickoff of the legendary Minnesota State Fair. 🎡

Itinerary Highlights:

• Gather for a warm welcome 🧺 at a "Potluck FF Summer Picnic" in one of Minneapolis's beloved parks (Loring Park or Minnehaha Falls)
• Explore Minneapolis 🌲 — the Lake Harriet Rose Garden, the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, St. Anthony Falls, and the historic Stone Arch Bridge — then tee off at Skyline Mini Golf ⛳ on the Walker Art Center rooftop
• Spend warm evenings under the stars at free outdoor summer concerts 🎶 — folk, salsa, country and more at Lake Harriet, Father Hennepin Park, and beyond
• Discover St. Paul 🏛️ with a guided tour of the Minnesota State Capitol, a visit to the magnificent Cathedral of St. Paul ⛪, and a scenic Mississippi River boat cruise ⛴️
• Experience the "Great Minnesota Get-Together" 🎡 — the famous Minnesota State Fair — and enjoy a day among the blooms at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum 🌷
• Toast new friendships at a catered farewell dinner 🍽️ at the lovely Westwood Nature Center

And so much more — optional Minnesota Twins baseball ⚾, stadium and Federal Reserve tours, a Mississippi riverboat dinner cruise, the Chanhassen Dinner Theater, and lakeside lunches on Lake Minnetonka!
