Music in the Park
During the summer months, the city hosts the ‘Inver Groove: Music in the Park’ series at South Valley Park. These family-friendly concerts feature a range of musical performances and are a great way to enjoy live music in a beautiful outdoor setting. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets or chairs and can take advantage of the park’s amenities before or after the concerts.
Community Art Projects
The city also offers hands-on art experiences, such as the ‘Hands On Art- Mosaic Benches’ project. Participants collaborate with local artists to create mosaic designs that adorn benches in community spaces like the Veterans Memorial Community Center playground and Simley Island Park. These projects not only beautify public areas but also foster a sense of community involvement and pride.

Throughout the year, Inver Grove Heights hosts various festivals and events that celebrate the arts and local culture. The annual Craft Fair, held at the Veterans Memorial Community Center, showcases handmade items from local artisans and crafters. Additionally, the city organizes events like the Food Truck Festival and Movie in the Park during the summer, providing opportunities for residents to gather and enjoy diverse cultural experiences.
