Redwood Heights Area Events

Redwood Heights and Laurel families and neighbors extend a big thank you to all of the businesses and organizations that made the Community Picnic possible on Sunday, September 25. Dedicated volunteers invested months of preparation time to coordinate the free event for the greater community. We are all very grateful.

There's no better way for families to enjoy our fall weather and the beauty of our neighborhood than to walk to school. International Walk to School Week, October 3 to 7, is designed to encourage physical fitness; raise awareness and concern for the environment; reduce traffic congestion, pollution, and speed near schools; and provide the opportunity to share valuable time with local community leaders, parents, and children. Put on your walking shoes and join in.

A family tradition in Redwood Heights, the Fall Carnival on Saturday, October 15, at the Redwood Heights School Playground, makes for a great outing with kids or kids at heart. Try your luck at the cakewalk or ring toss. Climb to the top of the amazing inflatable slide, if you dare. Everybody wins at the Carnival!
