Free Events and Activities in Minneapolis (Not For The Squeamish)

Eat flesh, mutilate flesh and watch flesh being devoured: all for free. Here's some free activities that (mostly) aren't actually that gruesome.

Free Bacon Wednesdays at the Triple Rock Social Club. From 9 p.m. until 1 p.m. or until it's gone, patrons of the Triple Rock can enjoy free bacon every Wednesday night. To wash the bacon down, PBR tallboys are $3 and there's no cover charge.

Free Piercings at The Ink Lab. Have your ear lobe, ear helix or your navel pierced for free by an apprentice piercer at the Ink Lab in Uptown Minneapolis. Free piercings are done on Sunday afternoons and supervised by a licensed piercer. The Ink Lab tattoo shop has one of the best reputations in the Twin Cities and their licensed piercers are very well regarded.

Free Snake Nature ProgramWhat do snakes eat for dinner? A free snake event at the Richardson Nature Center in Bloomington introduces visitors to a live snake at dinnertime. Cameras are recommended if you'd like a grisly photo of a snake swallowing something whole. Sunday July 26, 3-4 p.m.
