Egg Hunt & Candy Grab
This fast-paced, fun event allows kids and their family members to race around trying to find colorful eggs and some exciting treats. This event also includes attractions such as vehicle displays from various City departments, interactive small games or activities, a chance to pet and take pictures with llamas and goats, visiting with local businesses and vendors and getting a tasty treat from a food truck! This event typically happens in March or April. 

Happy Birthday America Parade
Our Happy Birthday America Parade is a festive celebration where people from across Shakopee come together to walk or ride through the west end of town. Led by our local fire and police departments, it’s a fun and lighthearted way to celebrate America's birthday with neighbors, friends, and a whole lot of red, white, and blue.

Summer Carnival
Our Summer Carnival at Lions Park is a community event packed with tons of family fun. Local businesses and vendors set up booths with games and prizes. Kids have a blast playing games and winning prizes, while a big raffle throughout the day adds extra excitement.

Spooky Family Fun
Spooky Family Fun at Huber Park is our annual Halloween-themed celebration where staff and families come together in costume for a night of festive fun! Enjoy dancing, games, crafts, prizes, and more in a family-friendly, not too spooky, atmosphere filled with Halloween spirit. 

Huber Park Concert Series

The Huber Park Concert Series is a way to enjoy free live music at the Huber Park amphitheater. The lineup is family-friendly, and if you or your kids need something extra to do, a large playground is only steps away.

Movies in the Park

Our Movies in the Park at Huber Park is a free event where families and friends can gather to watch free outdoor movies in an open-air setting. Each night features a family-friendly film shown on a large screen at dusk. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets, lawn chairs, snacks, and bug spray to make themselves comfortable.
