Ready, Set, Red Wing!
As a community, COVID-19 drastically changed our summer plans, but that doesn’t mean summer fun is canceled. Ready, Set, Red Wing! is a collaborative effort between local organizations and the City of Red Wing to provide residents with ways to get involved with all that our community has to offer, whether that’s exploring the great outdoors or the local art scene, in safer, socially-distanced ways.
Check back regularly as we welcome new organizations and update program offerings.
