New This Year: BikeMN
Minnesota Fringe is pleased to announce our first-ever Bike Bus! This is a safe ride home program, in partnership with BikeMN, the Bike Alliance of Minnesota. In consideration of the environmental impact we have on the Cedar Riverside neighborhood, we are celebrating a festival with fewer cars (and easier parking!) by encouraging and supporting alternative ways of travel. Each night, leaving from the corner of Cedar and Riverside at 11:30pm SHARP, there will be a group ride from the LRT trail to the Midtown Greenway. BikeMN will provide lights, safety tips, and, on August 9, snacks!

Check out the Minnesota Bicycling Handbook for tips in riding legally and safely, available in English, Spanish, and Somali.

More Information

Minneapolis' West Bank, also known as Cedar-Riverside, has been a major entry-point for newcomers to Minnesota for over 160 years. But this is only the more recent part of our neighborhood's long and complicated history. Walk with us as we explore a non-comprehensive selection of the West Bank's fascinating history.

The tour begins on the West Bank itself. This area was once home to Mni Sóta Makoce, a historic homeland of the Dakota people who moved through to hunt, fish and tap the maple trees that once grew along the Mississippi River.

The West Bank Neighborhood History Walking Tour is FREE and self-directed. You do NOT need tickets. It takes about 90 minutes, but you do not need to do it all at once. HERE IS THE LINK to the walking tour!
