Crosslake Days is a go - Sept. 24 - 26, 2020! The beautiful Fall colors are a constant and our volunteer committee is pulling out all the stops on creativity when it comes to planning events for this year's 34th Annual Crosslake Days Fall Festival! There will be fun for all ages, all while complying with Covid safety protocol and rules.
Crosslake Ace Hardware is this year's Platinum Sponsor. We congratulate and celebrate 10 years of ACE ownership with Dan & Betty Soller!
Chili Cook-off trophies will sit idle this year, but there will be plenty of other activities for all ages taking place to keep you busy. Art & Craft fairs, retail shopping and dining at Crosslake businesses is at its finest during this festival with deals and discounts abound. The Knights of Columbus are organizing the 1st Annual CornHole Tournament with a $1,000 first prize team payout, or have some fun in the 1st Annual Pickleball Tournament! Tour the new Crosslake City Administration and Police Department, be on the lookout for the Unicorn Unicycler, hunt for the Lost Chili Pepper and explore Crosslake during the 3rd Electronic Scavenger Hunt! Get your commemorative Crosslake Days/Ace Buff (facemask) and you'll find extra discounts at participating businesses.
