Bike Rodeo & Safety Fair
Sponsored by the Crime Prevention & Safety Committee, this annual spring event strives to promote bicycle safety. Have your bike checked for unsafe conditions by the Minneapolis Police Department, purchase safety equipment at a reduced price and have some fun racing against neighbors.

Treasure Hunt
Sponsored by the HPDL Business Association, this annual event runs just before Picnic in the Park. A small rabbit is hidden somewhere on public land in the neighborhood. Each day, a new clue is revealed at one of the neighborhood businesses. The person who finds the rabbit gets a raft of great prizes.

Picnic in the Park
This annual neighborhood festival takes place in Pearl Park in mid-July. Everyone is welcome to come and "meet the neighbors" for some good food, fun games, energetic music, interesting neighborhood information and much, much more.
