Best time to visit Minneapolis

With frosty winters (December – February), visiting Minneapolis during the summer (June – August) makes it the most popular time to discover this American destination. The temperatures during this time climb pleasantly to the higher 20s, which balances the high rainfall of this period. These ideal conditions bring the most tourists to Minneapolis, so if you want good hotel deals, you’d best book your accommodation well in advance. Events that take place in the summer include Twin Cities Pride (June) and the Upton Art Fair (August). To get the perfect balance between ideal weather and a quieter holiday experience, visit Minneapolis in May (late spring) and September (early autumn). Temperatures during these times range around the low 20s and there are plenty of reasonable hotel deals. Should you visit in May, make sure to avoid the later part of the month, since this is when college graduations take place. May offers events such as the Food & Wine Experience and the Soundset Festival, while in September, you can enjoy the Minnesota State Fair.
