What a great Spring! A lot of visitors enjoyed Red Wing’s outdoor activities this April. Biking, hiking, golf, walks by the river, and just generally relaxing. May brings a variety of activities, including the 100-Mile Garage Sale, Randy Travis at Treasure Island on May 8, Stayin’ Alive (a Bee Gees tribute) at the Sheldon Theatre on May 15, and a Bluegrass Festival at Hobgoblin Music on May 29.

Go to our Specials page to see what is happening at the Moondance Inn during May.

February is a great month in Red Wing. If you enjoy music, Leo Kottke is playing the Sheldon Theatre on February 6th. If comedy is your thing then check out the latest rendition of Late Night Catechism on February 13th, also at the Sheldon. February is also when hundreds of bald eagles migrate into the Mississippi Valley. Beginning February 20th, visit Colville Park, right in Red Wing, and view these magnificent birds up close and personal.

It’s December in Red Wing and we just received a fresh foot of snow. There are numerous cross country ski trails as well as Welsh Ski Village nearby.

Also, an update on what’s happening in Red Wing on New Year’s Eve. Treasure Island has Kansas and Night Ranger performing. The Sheldon Theatre is hosting a Bluegrass New Year with Monroe Crossing, and Norton’s Restaurant is featuring the Wayne McFarland Band. It should be a great night in Red Wing.

Thousands of people gather in downtown Red Wing the day after Thanksgiving to enjoy the beginning of the Christmas season. Red Wing’s historic downtown becomes the backdrop for all the turn-of-the-century activities that makes the Holiday Stroll such a fun event.

The Red Wing, Minnesota Holiday Stroll is such a wonderful event. If you like the idea of a turn-of-the-century Christmas with carolers, roasted chestnuts, fireworks, and so much more, then you want to visit Red Wing the day after Thanksgiving.

In addition to many outdoor events, all the downtown shops and restaurants are open and you can find many unique gifts for the holiday season.

Red Wing will celebrate the opening of the Red Wing Shoe Museum on Tuesday, July 27th. The “World’s Largest Work Boot,” made by Red Wing Shoes to celebrate their 100th anniversary, will be on display.

River City Days, a community festival held at Bay Point Park on the Mississippi River, begins Friday and runs through the weekend. Live music, an antique car show, food, and rides are available.

Hobgoblin Music will host Blues in the Barn on Saturday. This should be a great concert with several different performers and groups.

Red Wing, MN will host some great groups starting July 24th. Listen to Jambo while sitting on a grassy lawn on the Mississippi River. Have a great dinner at The Norton’s Restaurant and listen to Bruce Jackson and the Moondogs. If mid-week in open for you, sit under the stars in central park and listen to the Back Channel Blues band on Wednesday night, July 22.

Stay at the Moondance Inn on any of these nights and we will give you a $30.00 discount on any available room.

Falconer Vineyards is located in the beautiful Red Wing valley. You can taste their award-winning wines, picnic under a vine-covered gazebo, walk through the vineyards, and so much more. They are located only 10 minutes from our B&B. It’s a beautiful way to spend a relaxing day.

Moondance Inn Breakfast Dessert,

The Moondance Inn serves dessert at breakfast on weekends. Yum. But Red Wing offers much more in terms of dining. For example, check out The Norton’s Downtown & The Crazy Cat Lounge, The Staghead, Jimmy’s Pub at the St. James Hotel, Fiesta Mexicana, The Harbor Bar for Jamaican food, Bev’s Cafe for down home cooking, and the list goes on. If you travel on your tummy then Red Wing is a great stop.
