Third Space Thursday: Dance in Your Park
Third Space Thursday is a free community gathering in our parks to share food, connect with neighbors, get active, and enjoy the river. Whether you are new to our national park or get outside often, these events are an invitation to step away from the screen and be present in nature. Join us for a series of outdoor activities while learning about Mississippi Park Connection programs and the importance of preserving river access. All activities are free and optional.
Join us for the July 30th “Dance in your Park” edition of TST with Duende Dance Studio! Join MPC and Duende in a salsa dancing class at Boom Island Park. Lessons and snacks will be provided for all registered participants, with extras available on a first-come, first-served basis. Check Duende Dance out at https://www.dancewithduende.com/
Future TST Dates and Locations:
July 30 at Boom Island Park
September 3 at Bohemian Flats Park
This is a BIPOC-centered event but all are welcome.
Partners: Hennepin County, MPRB Downtown Parks, Kroening Nature Center, Three Rivers Park District
Funding for this project was provided by Hennepin County through the Green Partners environmental education program.
The Sacred Water Shared Future campaign is powered by you! The heart of this centennial celebration is the incredible variety of events planned and hosted by our partners — community groups, nonprofits, businesses, schools, and individuals who feel a connection to the Mississippi River.
We do not host events ourselves; instead, we serve as a central hub for river-focused activities happening across the Twin Cities throughout 2026.
