The Lake Harriet Rose Garden is stunning in July. The Dances at the Lake Festival is modeled after  a sister dance festival held on the Duluth LakeWalk, that features fourteen dance organizations, including youth ensembles, performing two nights of various forms of modern dance. Founded by the Christopher Watson Dance Company, the festival is in its 18th year. The Ray Terrill Dance Group is sole producer of this annual event. Dancers are local, from other states (and occasionally international) who perform for the greater Twin Cities audience. This FREE outdoor event is a great way to introduce anyone to modern dance.
