Northeast Parade Returns After Two-Year Absence

Submitted by Michael Rainville, Sr.

If you’ve never been to the annual Celebrate Northeast Parade, it’s a great way to kick off summer with your neighbors. And it was so great to have it back this year after the COVID cancellations of the past two years.

I’ve been enjoying this parade since I was a one-year-old, looking down from my parent's apartment window overlooking Central Avenue. For 19 years, I had the privilege of doing color commentary on the cable TV broadcasts of this parade.

This year, it was a great honor to ride in the parade as a Minneapolis city council member representing Ward 3.

We put together a little highlight video for you. Many thanks to all the wonderful volunteers who make this parade possible.
