Join your library for an awesome summer concert featuring family-friendly music by Tim Eggebraaten at the Detroit Lakes City Park Bandshell. Audience members are encouraged to bring lawn chairs. Admission is offered free of charge. The event will include kids prizes, games, and the Detroit Lakes Public Library Book Bike
Also, at the library on Monday “The Viking Age” History Program begins at 2 pm. Learn all about the Viking Age with a living history presentation showcasing the Scandinavian heritage claimed by many Minnesota immigrants. In these living history performances, Minnesotan historian and educator Arn Kind will bring history to life with a realistic portrayal of this mysterious age of Runes, Raids, and Sagas. Learn how these Scandinavians came to be excellent traders, craftsmen, ship-builders, inventors, and navigators and how their raids disrupted the power structure of medieval kingdoms, ultimately resulting in the formation of Europe that exists to this day.
Admission is free thanks in part to funding from the MN Arts & Cultural Heritage Legacy Fund.
