Enjoy music and community at the Manitou Days Beach Dance.
Keep the celebration going following the Manitou Days Grand Parade at the annual Beach Dance on June 19 at Memorial Beach Park. The event is sponsored by Explore White Bear (explorewhitebear.org) and White Bear Lake Rotary Club (whitebearrotary.org), and attendees are invited to enjoy live music by Free & Easy and dancing on the lakeshore.
“This popular event not only brings the community together for fun and celebration but also supports local causes,” says Bill Foussard, community volunteer. “Proceeds benefit the White Bear Lake Rotary Club and their community projects, while Explore White Bear promotes local events to keep the area vibrant and connected.”
All ages are invited to attend the family-friendly dance, where the Rotary Club will also sell food.
Foussard estimates that last year’s dance included more than 1,000 attendees eager to dance the night away and cap off the Manitou Days festivities. The grand parade begins at 6 p.m., and the Beach Dance will follow at 8 p.m. Entry tickets are $10, when purchased in advance, or $15 at the event.
