Inver Grove Heights is a vibrant community where residents actively participate in events that strengthen our local bonds. From seasonal festivals to weekly gatherings, there’s always an opportunity to connect and celebrate our shared heritage.
Annual Celebrations
One of the highlights is the Inver Grove Heights Days, held every September. This multi-day event features a farmer’s market, business expos, and children’s activities, all designed to showcase the best of our community. The 2026 celebration is scheduled for September 9th to 13th, promising a variety of activities for all ages.
Local Markets and Fairs
Our city hosts numerous markets and fairs throughout the year. The Saint Paul Farmers Market sets up in the VMCC parking lot, offering fresh, locally grown produce and goods. Additionally, craft fairs provide a platform for local artisans to display their creations, fostering a supportive environment for small businesses.
Community Centers and Activities
The Veterans Memorial Community Center (VMCC) serves as a hub for various activities, including fitness classes, aquatics, and community events. It’s a place where residents can engage in recreational activities and socialize, contributing to the overall well-being of our community.
Supporting Local Businesses
New establishments like Cuppa More Pages, a bookstore café that opened in 2025, add to the charm of Inver Grove Heights. This unique spot invites patrons to enjoy a cup of coffee while browsing through a collection of books, embodying the spirit of community and shared interests.
Participating in these events and supporting local businesses not only enriches our personal experiences but also strengthens the fabric of Inver Grove Heights. Let’s continue to engage, celebrate, and build a community we are proud to call home.
