Water Ski Days | Lake City, MN

In 1922 a young daredevil named Ralph Samuelson invented the sport of water skiing on the waters of Lake Pepin in Lake City, Minnesota. Each year our community celebrates the man and the sport with an exciting annual festival.

The 53rd Annual Water Ski Days is going to be another big celebration. Come to Lake City for our annual summer party, June 26th-29th, and be treated to live concerts, an arts and crafts fair, gravity-defying water-ski shows, a grand parade, a classic car show, and much, much, much more. There has never been a better time to visit!
