Red Wing Area Calendar of Events 2009-2010

Fall-Winter 2009

Red Wing celebrates all the season. During the fall color season, it's a popular stop for "leaf peepers." Locals particularly enjoy the overlooks from Memorial Park on top of Sorin's Bluff, which is accessible by car from East Seventh Street; and from Barn Bluff, which is accessible on foot from East Fifth Street.

Every Saturday morning a Farmers Market complete with live music is held in front of City Hall.

As winter approaches, the celebration continues in preparation for the Christmas holidays.
