Friday, May 22, 2026 at 2:25PM
Free community event Saturday, June 6, 10:00am to 1:00pm at Boom Island Park
The Downtown Minneapolis Neighborhood Association (DMNA), in partnership with the North Loop Neighborhood Association, BAZTEC, the MPRB, and the MN DNR, invites youth and families to a fun and hands-on outdoor experience at our upcoming Take a Kid Fishing Day. Adults and children do not need a fishing license.
Designed to introduce young people to the joys of fishing and time spent outdoors, this event is perfect for beginners and experienced young anglers alike. All equipment will be provided, and volunteers will be on hand to help participants learn the basics, from casting a line to identifying fish and practicing safe, responsible fishing techniques.
Families can expect a welcoming, relaxed environment with plenty of opportunities to learn together and enjoy Minneapolis’ riverfront. Whether you’re casting a line for the first time or just looking for a great way to spend a Saturday morning outside, this event is a wonderful way to connect with nature and your community.
