North Mankato Fun Days to return in 2021

North Mankato Fun Days will return in 2021.

Organizers announced in April that the annual fun fest would be cancelled for the second year in a row due to pandemic uncertainty.  But an announcement made on Facebook Monday indicates that that decision has been reversed.

As pandemic restrictions are relaxed, a number of summer events are moving forward or are backtracking on cancellations. Last week, the Freeborn County Fair announced the fair would happen in 2021, despite initially announcing a cancelation.

Governor Tim Walz ended the state mask mandate last week, opening up even more flexibility for summer fun.
