Get set for the return of the amazing Minnesota Food Truck Festival, back this July and happening a little over an hour from Rochester!

Another summer is coming in hot (whether you like it or not) and it’s not just people that are susceptible to the heat - your pets are going to need some protection from the rising temps, too.

Just as the weather is warming up in Minnesota comes a warning that 2021 could be a bad year for ticks.

While Rochester's two public swimming pools are still closed this weekend, there ARE a few other places you can head to dip your toe in the water and cool off.

This place looks awesome and it's not too far from Rochester.

We've compiled a list of places to check out incredible 4th of July firework shows and Independence Day celebrations around Southeast Minnesota.

The huge day full of events will finish with fireworks at 10 pm!

If you're looking to cool off, you'll find one of the best swimming holes in America only 2-and-a-half hours from Rochester.

Fewer people are going to be allowed into the pool. Reservations are recommended.

Check on your neighbors and help spread the word so everyone stays safe and cool this week!
