Celebrate MN

“We’re looking forward to seeing our community come together once again for an unforgettable experience,” said Dawn Zimmerman, president of the Celebrate MN Board and chair of the 2024 Steering Committee leading the organization’s activities this year.

Celebrate MN hosted a two-day festival at Whitney Park last August, featuring a variety of musical performers and entertainment for all ages. It brought together about 40,000 people for fun, connection and a message of hope.

“We continue to hear stories about how the August event made an impact in our community,” Zimmerman said, “and people keep asking about our plans for 2024, so we’re excited to be able to share them today.”

This marks the first event of its kind at the Ledge, a premier concert venue nestled in between two quarries. Proceeds will benefit local projects supporting youth.
