Three Summer Events - Mark your Calendars

Celebrate summer with your Morningside friends and neighbors! The Morningside Neighborhood Association welcomes everyone to two all-neighborhood events in Weber Park.

On Monday, July 13, from 5 to 7 PM, the MNA will host a Bastille Day Celebration with live accordion music, a costume contest, art projects, and field games with City of Edina Park & Rec staffers and Community Service officers. The MNA will serve lemonade and sweet treats, and Morningside’s own Oh Crepe! will offer food for purchase.

Both events are rain or shine.

ONGOING: Every month year-round, the MNA hosts Second Sunday Cribbage. The next gathering is Sunday, July 12, from 2 to 4 PM. All are welcome, to learn to play or show off their skills. To RSVP or for more information, contact the MNA at edina.morningside@gmail.com or Pat Corcoran at Patricia.corcoran@gmail.com.

VEAP Food Drive sets a record!

Thank you for all you did to make the 2026 MNA/MHUCC Food Drive for VEAP a tremendous success!

Over 140 households in Morningside donated a total of 2,143 pounds of food and household supplies this year. Last year, we collected 2,006 pounds.

With need in the community so great, and our neighbors so generous, I hope the MNA will sponsor a food drive again next April. Meanwhile, thanks for all you do in Morningside and the greater community.

Gratefully yours,

Joni Bennett

Morningside Neighborhood Association Steering Committee Member
