Head to the Mississippi River in Minneapolis on Thursday nights this summer to take in free Twin Cities River Rats water ski shows!

It’s a family tradition that at least once during the summer, we will head to a see the River Rats. 

Let me be clear the show does not include “real” rats, it’s the Twin Cities River Rats!  Still not sure what I’m talking about?  Thursday’s in the summer you can go to a Free Twin Cities River Rats Show.

It’s a great water ski show.  There’s nothing quite like a summer evening, sitting on the hillside gazing out at the Mississippi River to see the show.  Their free shows are typically on Thursday evenings, with the pre-show starting at 6:30pm and the show starting at 7pm.

In August, the Twin Cities River Rats also add Tuesday evening shows on select dates in July and August. You can see their full performance calendar on their website.
