Our office is located in the Loring Park neighborhood of Minneapolis, just southwest of the central downtown core of the city. It’s a beautiful neighborhood, full of history and character, and it features a park that covers almost 34 acres.
We’ll tell you more about the neighborhood and its park in future posts. Today, we wanted to highlight some of the great events that take place here each year, starting with Minnesota’s largest free Pride festival at the end of this month.
