The Minneapolis Downtown Council is shortening the annual Aquatennial festival from ten days to four days this year, without much explanation. The consequence of the shortened festival is the omission of the Aquatennial Beach Bash held at Lake Calhoun each year. The Beach Bash is where the beloved Sand Castle Competition and classic Milk Carton Boat Races are typically held. After 75 years, the Minneapolis Downtown Council is cutting these cherished traditions. Let's petition to continue the loved, and enjoyed summer tradition of an annual Beach Bash!
