What's there to do this weekend?

Wayzata is one of the Metro area’s most desired and beautiful communities.  It is located on the shores of beautiful Lake Minnetonka with close and easy access to 394.  You get all the benefits of lake living and a small, close knit  community but  it is just a short and straight 15 minute drive to downtown Minneapolis.   

This weekend is the perfect time to visit the city at it ushers in the 37th Annual James J Hill Days.  The weather looks to be sunny and beautiful for the 2 day event which features an Arts Bazaar, Coaster Cart Derby, lots of kids activities, Dachshund Races, Car Show, a Parade, and more.  The fun gets started Saturday at 9:00 and goes until 6:00.   Spend the day taking in the sights and sounds of the event and finish it off dining and relaxing lakeside at Sunsets, Blue Point, Sakana, or Gianni’s Steakhouse.   Then stick around for the Fireman’s Dance from 6:00-9:00.  Sunday’s activities begin at 9:00 and last until 4:00.  If you are a Yoga fan be sure to come for the Free Yoga Class on the Grass which starts at 8:00 a.m. both Saturday and Sunday.  Yoga will be held at the Wayzata Depot Park.
