Annual Block PartyTHANK YOU to everyone who helped make the 13th Annual Block Party a huge success!
The Annual St. Bridget of Sweden Block Party is a community-building event that takes place the Saturday evening of Labor Day weekend each year. With free admission, our parishioners and wider community members can enjoy live music, kids' games, turkey dinner, beer tent, concessions, marketplace, and a silent auction. The St. Bridget of Sweden Block Party is a Chisago Lakes favorite! This is a big fundraiser for the church that helps us meet our short and long-term goals of supporting our community. We appreciate your support! We hope you will join us for our 14th Annual Block Party next year!
