Forest Lake Area School District

2nd Annual Lake Fest held June 1 - 2

The 2nd Annual Lake Fest is coming on June 1 - 2, but that's not all. A whole week's full of related events are planned for June 1 - 8 as our community once again joins together to celebrate all that is great about this area. The event began last year as a collaboration between Forest Lake Area Schools, the City of Forest Lake and the Forest Lake Area Chamber of Commerce that coincided with the 100th graduating class from our high school. The event has become an annual tradition, and many events - some from last year, and some brand new - are part of the festival. Click here for more information on Lake Fest.
