Our final night is tonight so that means take-down starts tomorrow! We know it's Mother's Day but the lights need to come down and with enough help, maybe we ALL can celebrate Mother's Day with loved ones! We're starting at 9am, breaking from 12-1 and go until 4pm--find us at the trailers near the swayback or call to find where we're working. Even an hour of your time is a tremendous help--we can accomplish a lot so come join the crew for whatever time you can contribute! Come out tonight for one last time to catch the lights in the dark!
Summer Splash is Redwood Falls' annual kickoff to summer — three days of fun community events that bring the whole town together. From the pool party and parade to live music, food trucks, and the Ball Field Blast fireworks, it's the busiest weekend in Redwood Falls each year.
The event is organized by Celebrate Redwood Falls in partnership with dozens of local businesses, organizations, and volunteers who donate their time and resources to make it happen. Whether you're a lifelong resident or you're visiting for the weekend, Summer Splash is for everyone.
We couldn't host Summer Splash without the support of our volunteers, sponsors, and donors. A very special thank you to everyone who helps make this celebration possible. We hope you have a fantastic weekend with us!
