Wash all the juicy lucy goodness with brews, ciders and cocktails from local favorites.
Live Entertainment
The Juicy Lucy Festival brings nonstop entertainment to Valleyfair with contests, trivia, and dance parties by day and live music by night. Catch SoundCycle’s high-energy beats, cheer on loon callers and join the PEANUTS Gang for a kid-friendly dance break. As the sun sets, Superior Stage hosts top local bands like Xpedition, Sawyer’s Dream and Good for Gary. Grab a juicy lucy, find a seat, and enjoy the ultimate Minnesota summer soundtrack.
Family Activities
Bring the whole crew to our Activity Zone and add your mark to a five-foot-tall Minnesota chalk mural, then slot the last piece into an oversized wooden puzzle of the North Star State. Glide stones down the Street Curling rink, swing the ring onto the hook for bragging rights and explore more hands-on games sprinkled throughout the festival lawn. Whether you are seven or seventy, these quick, colorful challenges guarantee smiles between bites of your juicy burger.
