Carver

Carver’s well-known Steamboat Days celebration takes place the weekend after Labor Day. Each year residents and visitors fill the streets to join in the festivities. Entertainment for the whole family can be found throughout the weekend, which comes to an end with the Steamboat Days Parade.

Hosted by the occasional shops of Carver, with vendors from all over, the Village Open Air Markets in the summer attract many different genres of people to the heart of downtown.

Miles of walking trails along the Minnesota River allow residents and visitors to enjoy picturesque views of nature in Carver.
