Twin Cities River Rats: Free Water Ski Show

This has to be some of the best free entertainment anywhere in the Twin Cities.

The Twin Cities River Rats, a very talented group of water skiers, perform every Thursday night during the summer on the Mississippi River. Spectators can watch pyramids, ballet lines, 50 mph barefoot skiing, and even the boats can dance. The photo is of the very impressive Junior team. You should see what the big boys and girls can do!

The show is in between the Broadway Avenue and Plymouth Avenue bridges, just north of downtown Minneapolis. It's free, but they appreciate donations. There's plenty of space to sit on the river bank, and there's plenty of parking. So bring a chair or blanket and a picnic, and I can promise that you will enjoy the show!

The River Rats will also be performing several times during the Aquatennial later this month.
