Pollinator Party

Celebrate honey bees, native bees, and other pollinators at a free outdoor gathering near Lyndale Park’s Perennial Garden and Phelps Fountain. Scientists, beekeepers, educators, artists, musicians, food vendors, and other exhibitors will share ways these small creatures affect the world and how people can help them thrive.

Activities

• Make bee-inspired art with the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
• Take a 30-minute garden walk with a Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board horticulturist at 5:30 or 7 p.m.
