Dances on the Lakewalk 2026
Event Navigation
The Freshwater Dance Collective presents the 28th annual Dances on the Lakewalk — two free outdoor dance performances at the Rose Garden in Leif Erikson Park. The first Dances on the Lakewalk was held 30 summers ago in 1997, but the event was not held in 2007 and 2020.
The Freshwater Dance Collective is dedicated to the mission of expanding the artistic boundaries of contemporary dance by presenting the choreography of regional and national artists. The company was formed in 1989 to create and produce quality professional modern dance in northeastern Minnesota through public performances and special events. The company collaborates with musicians, visual artists, writers and other choreographers to provide the company with opportunities to present the widest possible range of choreography, music art and subject matter to area audiences.
