Let’s Go Again
(and Again)
Some of our events are so popular that we’ve got them on repeat.
Craft Bev Tours
One of our most popular events, Craft Bev Tours brings together thousands of people across Minnesota and beyond. We typically host these parties throughout the year, giving you plenty of opportunities to make a splash.
Kids and Parents Expo
The mission of the Kids and Parents Expo is to bring families and the community together. Kids love the Kids and Parents Expo because it's fun, and parents love it because it connects them with relevant educational, shopping, and service opportunities and businesses in our community.
Celebrate Aging
The Celebrating Aging Expo (formerly Expo for Seniors) is evolving. Today’s 55+ community is active, curious, stylishly seasoned, and navigating life’s next chapters with confidence (and maybe a preferred cocktail). This free community event brings together the best of Central Minnesota’s resources in health, wellness, housing, finance, recreation, travel, safety, technology, and more. Think of it as a life‑planning happy hour — minus the bar tab.
First Steps Baby Expo
The St. Cloud First Steps Baby Expo is Central Minnesota’s premier event, showcasing products and services for new, expectant and young families. The team behind the First Steps Baby Expo aims to bring together a diverse selection of exhibitors directed at growing families, maternity, infant and toddler markets. Our events are filled with family-fun activities, entertainment and educational opportunities for all to enjoy. We look forward to meeting you at our upcoming show and congratulate you on your growing family!
Mom Son Super Hero Party
You bonded the moment you held them in your arms, and then, they started to crawl, walk...and run! Children need and crave together time with their parents at all ages but finding fun (action packed) activities and spaces to connect in can be a challenge as a hustling, bustling family. That's what we had in mind when creating the Mom Son Super Hero Party! A "date" for you and your boys to reconnect, laugh, play, and make memories - Super Hero style!
Daddy Daughter Date Night
A semi-formal, magical evening to foster the bond between a father and his daughter! A strong father presence in the lives of your daughters leads to confidence and a sense of self for your little girl to carry forward for a lifetime. We understand that finding the time to set aside, to connect, can be a challenge in today’s demanding world, that’s why Daddy Daughter Date Night is planning an evening to remember for you. A “date” for dads and daughters to dress up together, reconnect, laugh, dance and make memories!
