Founded in 1893, Robbinsdale is Minneapolis’ oldest suburb. Unlike many of the other communities surrounding the Twin Cities, more than one third of Robbinsdale’s houses were built before 1950, which helps it keep that old, small-town vibe. At just 15 minutes from the buzz of downtown Minneapolis, if you live here, you get the best of both worlds. New townhome projects are rumored to be in the development stages.
This family-friendly town has the advantage of a major regional medical center, as well as the charm of its little main-street businesses and restaurants. Robbinsdale prides itself on its convenient shopping and lake vistas. It’s also the original home of Fawcett Publications (think Family Circle and Women’s Day).
Which brings us to Whiz Bang Days, Robbinsdale’s annual town fete, named for “Captain Billy’s Whiz Bang,” a WW I-era mag. that launched Fawcett into publishing. Block party, parade, town royalty, sidewalk sale, 10k/5k fun run…you’ll find it all here, the second weekend in July.
Yeah, we know, it’s a little hokey. But hey, there’s a Beer and Wine Tasting and $5 Neck and Shoulder Massages…so why not just go with it.
