**New this year! Come downtown on Friday!

A mobile greenspace is coming to New Ulm! Imagine an entire downtown block with green turf, picnic tables, live music, bean bags and more. We plan to pilot this turf the first weekend of Oktoberfest! The grass will be put down Friday morning on October 6^th, on Minnesota Street from 1^st North to Center Street, and stay there until Sunday morning. We invite you to come down after 1pm on Friday and enjoy this space! Bring the kids! Bring your dog (though please clean up after)! Bring your own lawn chairs or blankets, if you wish! Listen to live music, enjoy a beverage, snack or meal, and connect with friends, neighbors, and visitors!

Live music schedule:
3pm - Tanner Stark
5pm - Andrea Lynn
7pm - DJ CPR

Alcoholic beverages can be purchased at Mowan's, Lola's, or B&L can be brought out into the street (no glass and must stay within the closed street area). Grab lunch or dinner or ice cream at a nearby business and enjoy it on the grass. 
 
Come down and enjoy the fun! We are piloting the turf at Oktoberfest, and raising funds to be able to offer events like this more often. $10,000 has already been secured from private businesses and individuals (no tax dollars are contributing to this effort).
