COON RAPIDS, Minnesota After the pandemic wiped out many Fourth of July events across the Twin Cities metro area last year, annual celebrations returned this weekend in a big way. This is my favorite holiday. I don t ever miss fireworks, said Naomi Nelson of Blaine.
Nelson and her family came out to Coon Rapids on Sunday and spent the afternoon at Boulevard Plaza s Splash Pad to beat the heat. After a year off, the annual 4th of July Community Celebration returned with food trucks, rides, games, live music and fireworks.
