Budding Lake Minnetonka Fourth of July Tradition will feature musket firing and period costumes from the American Revolution.

Patriots of all ages are welcomed with enthusiasm to "catch their breakfasts!" this Fourth of July and are asked to prepare for any weather.

Drizzle will not cause cancellation

Powder muskets will be fired every hour on the hour, and pancakes will ‘fly onto plates’ (if guests are lucky!) throughout the morning.

The Lake Minnetonka Children of the American Revolution originated and man this annual family celebration, which fulfills their motto of, ‘Patriotism in Action’.

In addition to this major event, they have conducted for the past five years, 15 flag installations on five separate flag holiday’s take place throughout the year at Heritage Park in Wayzata.
