Lake Harriet Band Shell

Minneapolis, MN
Story by Alicia B

This lake holds special memories for my family. We lived nearby and could hear music from the variety of local bands, school groups and orchestras that would perform. I appreciated the diversity of music and talent displayed in this beautiful setting free to the public. When my kids were young, we would frequent the nearby playground and ride the Linden Hills train trolley. Too many times to count the number of walks around the lake with a stroller, laps to train for a rollerblade marathon, excuses to get ice cream and evening strolls to the Rose Garden. Can’t forget feeding the ducks (when you use to able to do it)! It’s truly a gem in the city.
