Rondo Days

[1] The construction of Highway 94 through St. Paul in the 1960s destroyed several neighborhoods including Rondo - the backbone of the black community in the Twin Cities.

Every June, Rondo days celebrate that community via an annual multi-cultural reunion, started in 1983.

The Rondo Days Grande Parade begins promptly at 10AM, on the 3rd Saturday of July, at St. Claver Church and ending near the MLK Rec Center Park.

[4] There is live music and food, and a drill team contest with participants from around the region.

[5][6] Other activities have included pony rides, a bike clinic, and petting zoo.
